title: can I start using angular 2 without node?
body: <p>I want to try angular 2 for <strong><a href="https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/visual-studio-2015.html" rel="noreferrer">VS 2015</a></strong> but the first prerequisite is <code>node.js</code>.</p>
  
  <p>If I understand correct, I need <code>node.js</code> as webserver and <code>npm</code> to download package? </p>
  
  <p>Can I do the same with IIS and VS nu-get?</p>
