I have two problems:
typings search electron returns quite a few results.How do I install them? typings install dt~github-electron --global --save gives me an error:
Attempted to compile "github-electron" as an external module, but it looks like a global module. You'll need to enable the global option to continue.
The source needs to be set to dt and it seems to work just fine.
$ typings install github-electron --source dt --global
npm run typings install... so the --global option was interpreted by npm instead of typings. My original command worked after I added -- before the typings options.
typings installed as local, meaning that the --global option was interpreted by the npm run typings ... command. Running npm install typings --global and then the typings install ... --global worked as expected.For those who are using TypeScript version 2.0 + you can use npm to get that by executing following line
npm install --save @types/electron
Here is a quick reference from typescript documentation
http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-files/consumption.html
if you are using typescript version lower than 2 either you can use typing which other peoples already helped regard that
I had to use a different typing name :
typings install electron/github-electron --source dt --save --global
