Angular: Can't find Promise, Map, Set and Iter

Question

After installing Angular, the Typescript compiler keep getting some errors about not finding Promise, Map, Set and Iterator.

Until now I ignored them but now I need Promise so my code can work.

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
    selector: 'greeting-cmp',
    template: `<div>{{ asyncGreeting | async}}</div>`
})
export class GreetingCmp {
    asyncGreeting: Promise<string> = new Promise(resolve => {
// after 1 second, the promise will resolve
        window.setTimeout(() => resolve('hello'), 1000);
    });
}

Additional information:
npm -v is 2.14.12
node -v is v4.3.1
typescript v is 1.6

The errors:

Answer 1

my file structure is as below:

project
 |--node-modules
 |   |--angular2
 |   |   |--typings
 |   |   |   |--browser.d.ts
 |--src
 |--app.ts

paste the below into the top of your app.ts and your problem solved

/// <reference path=">../../../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts" />
