You first need to add typings at global level as below.

npm install -g typings

Then create typings.json using below command.

typings init

Paste below code in typings.json

{
  "name": "ng2-application",
  "globalDependencies": {
    "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160725163759",
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160909174046"
  }
}

Now you need to add below code in tsconfig.json

 "compilerOptions": {
        "moduleResolution": "node"
       }

After doing above steps you will able to get definitions on F12.
