Possible Problems with sp-pnp-js packaging
I have been trying to get @SPDoctor's SiteInfo web part working with SPFx framework. One of the dependencies is sp-pnp-js. I get failures when I try and compile the webpart with gulp serve :-
'typings' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Hi
I finally got this to work by doing the following :-
npm install typings -g
which fixed the first problem and the I got "cannot find module 'sp-pnp-js'@ error
I tried npm install -g sp-pnp-js --save
That did not work.
But npm install --save sp-pnp-js did work !!

Hi,
In the worst scenario
npm cache clean npm install typings -g npm install sp-pnp-js --save
