  <h3>Summary</h3>
  
  <p>I'm trying to install typescript typings for my web app, but I can't get command prompt to recognize the <code>typings</code> command.</p>
  
  <h3>The Problem</h3>
  
  <p><code>typings install</code> throws the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'typings' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <h3>Details</h3>
  
  <p>When I run <code>npm i typings -g</code>, the console tells me the module has been installed. But when I look in my global npm directory, there is no typings file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\gitdev\MyWebApp\src\main\webapp\myUI&gt;npm i typings -g
  C:\home\123456\AppData\Roaming\npm\typings -&gt; C:\home\123456\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\typings\dist\bin.js
  C:\home\123456\AppData\Roaming\npm
  `-- typings@2.1.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <h3>More Details</h3>
  
  <p>my username has been replaced with <code>123456</code> for security purposes. everything else is copied verbatim.</p>
  
  <p>I don't have admin privileges (i'm on a work machine)</p>
  
  <p><code>where typings</code> also throws an error (INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).</p>
  
  <p>npm -g worked fine for grunt-cli</p>
  
  <p>npm is in my PATH as <code>C:\Users\123456\AppData\Roaming\npm</code></p>
