How to install express in typings?

With Typescript 2.0(https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2016/09/22/announcing-typescript-2-0/), now it is different:

If you install typescript with the following command:

npm install -g typescript@2.0

You will have to install express typings with command

npm install --save @types/express

Instead of typings getting installed with ambient/global like in earlier releases. The typings get installed in node_modules/@types/express directory

Your package.json will have the following fragment after doing npm install of types :

"dependencies": {    "@types/express": "^4.0.33"  }

{  "globalDependencies": {    "express": "registry:dt/express#4.0.0+20160708185218",    "express-serve-static-core": "registry:dt/express-serve-static-core#4.0.0+20160715232503",    "mime": "registry:dt/mime#0.0.0+20160316155526",    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160621231320",    "serve-static": "registry:dt/serve-static#0.0.0+20160606155157"  }}

This is my working Typings.json

I just ran into this myself and I believe is a duplicate from :

Importing node and express with typings in TypeScript

I installed both serve-static and express-serve-static then got errors stating that I was missing 'mime' and 'http'.

I had to install node typings to resolve the missing http reference and mime typings to resolve mime missing reference.

typings install mime --ambient --savetypings install node --ambient --save
