I started an NG2 app and wanna add font awesome. I npm installed it with : npm install --save font-awesome angular2-font-awesome. I added to project in systemjs.config.js:>
if you wanna using FontAwesome css style in your app, just put css link to your index.html, you don't need angular2-font-awesome
angular2-font-awesome
index.html
if you using angular2-font-awesome
i think use cdn is better.
