title: Angular2: Cannot find name 'Promise' after having installed global dependencies
body: <p>I'm building an app using angular 2 and nodejs and I've installed the necessary dependencies from the package.json already. Inside of the package.json, there is a postinstall command to install the dependencies in typings.json. I was initially trying to install the es6-shim using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"ambientDependencies": {
    "es6-shim": "github:DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/es6-shim/es6-shim.d.ts#6697d6f7dadbf5773cb40ecda35a76027e0783b2"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but running this returned the error:</p>
  
  <p><code>npm ERR! Failed at the support-dashboard@1.0.0 typings script 'typings "install"'.</code></p>
  
  <p>I then saw on quickstart guide for Angular that they have the following in their typings.json file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "globalDependencies": {
      "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160602141332",
      "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
      "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160621231320"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so I installed those dependencies since the site says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>We identified three typings file in the QuickStart, the d.ts files for
    core-js that brings ES2015/ES6 capabilities to our ES5 browsers</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For some reason though, when I start the server, I'm still getting the error that Promise can't be found. My company gets packages from the Node repositories we have on our servers so I think that maybe the github link that has been provided for the es6 shim might not work possibly, but I'm not sure.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there something that has to be configured differently in order to get "Promise" to be recognized?</strong></p>
  
  <h2>EDIT:</h2>
  
  <p><strong>Command prompt log from running <code>npm start</code>:</strong></p>
