how to upgrade angular dependency using typings (typescript nwebie)

Question

i'm using following grate seed project.

my problem is that it uses angular 1.5.0 and I want to upgrade it to 1.6.0

I know how to upgrade deps inside package.json file, the problem is with typings -

I can see following definitions in the project (typings.json)

{
 "globalDependencies": {
     "angular": "registry:dt/angular#1.5.0+20160517064839",

so the problem is - where this 20160517064839 numbers taken from? i guess there must be some command like:

typings install [email protected]

but i didnt manage to find it in any place...

Thanks forwards

The number refers to a particular commit on GitHub.

As you can see here, the example uses the new @types npm modules instead of typings. This means that you don't need typings at all. Just make sure you have installed the npm modules with:

$ npm install

And also ensure that you are using typescript >= 2.0.

$ tsc -v

You need to install angular first and then the typings.
