@stefanneculai I suggest reopening this. I do have the same error on latest angular-cli and angular 2.2.3.

I think you may like to add the typing as a dependency of your lib?

I guess installing typings with npm may solves this npm install --save-dev @types/jquery However I'm not sure whats the best practise for this. Similar discussion is on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38283236/typescript-and-jquery-compile-error-cannot-find-name

Hi @swapp1990 ,

I am only reproducing this if I remove 'jquery' dependency from typings.json.
Your typings.json should look like this:

{
  "globalDependencies": {
    "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160602141332",
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
    "jquery": "registry:dt/jquery#1.10.0+20160704162008",
    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160621231320"
  }
}

Can you please check it?

Thanks!

You should run:

tsd install jquery --save
or
typings install dt~jquery --global --save

[svillagracia]

I ran the commands and installed both but when I rand the tsd install jquery --save command it returned >> zero results
When I run typings install dt~jquery --global --save it seems to install, but I'm still getting the error. Or it sometimes says Attempted to compile "jquery" as an exxternal module, but it looks like a global module. You' need to enable the global option to continue

I'm using Angular-CLI

i installed everything successfully. tried a few ways to install it which it did successfully

├── core-js (global)
├── jasmine (global)
├── jquery (global)
└── node (global)

but still can't get rid of the error in the compiler.

maybe it needs to be referenced somewhere in the app?

declare var $:JQueryStatic;

[ts] Cannot find name JQueryStatic;
