how to use @types/node in node application

I am working in VSCode on Ubuntu 16.04. I've created node project using below commads:

npm init
tsc --init

I've created a new file called index.ts. I'm trying to use fs and readling to read file contents. but when I am writing below lines of code at the top of index.d.ts:

import fs = require('fs');
import readline = require('readline');

I'm getting below error:can not find module 'fs' and can not find module 'readline'

even process is not found. I've installed typings of node from here using below command:

sudo npm install @types/node -global --save

Can anyone please help me how to resolve this error?

Since TypeScript 2.x, all typings are installed using npm like this: npm install @types/node.

For TypeScript 1.8, it might be better to typings to install the node types. For detail see the quickstart at: .

For what i know you have two options here:

1. (Recommended) Install devDepencencie npm install @types/node --save-dev, which will add the type module for http.
2. Create a index.d.ts file declaring a definition for http module, like: declare module 'http. This method will not enable auto-complete for http methods
