[updated answer] After the new version of angular-cli (1.0.0-beta.15):

just add

npm install lodash --save
npm install @types/lodash --save-dev

then add the library to the angular-cli.json to list of global scripts(add "../node_modules/lodash/lodash.js" to the list apps[0].scripts).

and in your component where you want to use , try this way

declare var _:any;

@Component({
})
export class YourComponent {
  ngOnInit() {
     console.log(_.chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2));
  }
}

before : angular-cli (1.0.0-beta.15):

add this line in src/index.html

and in your component where you want to use , try this way

declare var _:any;

@Component({
})
export class YourComponent {
  ngOnInit() {
     console.log(_.chunk(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 2));
  }
}

I tried straight away , it worked for me
