npm install fails with error

Question

I'm following this tutorial enter link description here but I'v got stuck at 12:41. I downloaded seed project following link in the video description and issued somman npm install as administrator on Windows 7. But I'm getting following error:

C:\development\angular2\angular2-seed>npm install

> [email protected] postinstall C:\development\angular2\angular2-seed
> typings install

(I translated following lines to English)
typings is not name of an command, executable or batch.

Please advise. Thank you.

EDIT: Attached file npm-debug.log: enter link description here Attached file package.json: enter link description here

seed project uses angular2 version "2.0.0-beta.7" which is very old. I would suggest you refer this quick start article - angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html — Sanket

Permission Issue. It probably has to do with the path names in windows.

Check the same in Git Bash or Windows Powershell.

You can set the NODE path like : set NODE_PATH=source

Remove the node_modules and run npm install again.

I used Git Bash as administrator, set enviroment variable NODE_PATH, deleted node_modules but the issue persists unfortunately. Thank you.

Please show your package.json file. Would help debug this easier.

You need typings installed globally. npm install typings --global

If someone is in my situation facing this error and have tried all the solutions mentioned here, and another similar question, like:

you are in the right directory
you have a package.json file,
the JSON is valid,
you have tried to run %temp%
you have tried " npm install -d --save" etc.

Mine worked by doing "npm install --force"

Note: This was also recommended in the error itself, which I didn't pay attention to earlier.

Even " Yarn install" worked.
