Angular 2 Universal Quickstart - require 'ProvideRouter' not working

Question

I'm trying to set up my project for Angular Universal by using the quickstart

But it's not going well, there were a lot of errors trying to install typings:

Benjamins-MBP:vepo Ben$ sudo typings install node express body-parser serve-static express-serve-static-core mime --ambient
typings ERR! deprecated The "ambient" flag is deprecated. Please use "global" instead

Then I added the server.js file and tried to run it with node server.js:

I asked a question about it and got an answer so accepted it, but am not able to successfully implement the answer:

require('angular2-universal-polyfills');
require ('path');
require ('express');

// Angular 2 Universal
require ('@angular/router/provideRouter');
require ('@angular/core/enableProdMode');
require ('angular2-universal/*');

// replace this line with your Angular 2 root component
require ('./app/AppModule');
require ('./app/app.routes')

got this error:

Benjamins-MBP:vepo Ben$ node server.js
module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

Because there is no provideRouter at that level. How do I import that with require?

Here is my @angular folder:

How do I edit my require statements to correctly import the required modules?

my package.json to show versions being used:

Answer 1

I think you should use provideRoutes instead of provideRouter.
