It would be great if you could add to the documentation to run this before installing angular2-mdl

npm install typings -g

ok u just don't use the npm proxy config... why download typings if it's already installed ?

[mseemann]

this was a requirement with typescript 1.8. now it is no longer needed but i didn't have the time to change the complete build system. this will come in version 2.0. see #110.

[BenoitFroment]

ok thanks
