I am pretty new to the typescript world and I am trying to get a 3rd party library working in my angular2 app. I am trying to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/marked in my app to parse markdown but it cant seem to find the module.
This guys seems to use it fine here in his angular 2 service https://github.com/AntJanus/angular2-markdown-app/blob/master/src/app/services/markdown.service.ts
But in mine my variable "md" is undefined. https://github.com/bautistaaa/angular2-contentful/blob/master/app/markdown-converter/markdown-converter.component.ts#L18
I read somewhere that the following is just referring to the d.ts file?
import * as marked from 'marked';
I noticed I can still use the intefaces in the d.ts files without this import as well so I am confused as to what that import does. I'm not sure if maybe its something I need to add to my systemjs config or what? Again I am completely clueless at the moment so any help would be GREAT!
heres my package.json as well

was a systemjs configuration problem.
