Reflect is not defined when my project is deployed to the server

Question

I'm trying to deploy my node.js project to the openshift server, My project runs fine on my local machine but when deployed on the server it complains as follows

/opt/app-root/src/node_modules/inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils.js:22
    if (Reflect.hasOwnMetadata(metadataKey, annotationTarget) === true) {
        ^

ReferenceError: Reflect is not defined
    at _tagParameterOrProperty (/opt/app-root/src/node_modules/inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils.js:22:9)
    at Object.tagProperty (/opt/app-root/src/node_modules/inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils.js:12:5)

    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)

On VS code when I track the file and try to see where does it get from the Reflect I can see that it reads it from lib.es6.d.ts in vs code libraries so I guess that file isn't available on the server but I don't know how can I include it in the server?

Edit 1: I'm not using docker and my package.js is as follow:

{
  "name": "mmm",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "build/bootstrap.js",
  "scripts": {
    "compile": "tsc --declaration && node build/bootstrap.js",
    "dev": "nodemon -e ts  --exec \"npm run compile\"",       
    "start": "nodemon -e ts  --exec \"npm run compile\"",
    "tsc": "tsc",
    "tsc:w": "tsc -w"
  },

  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "^1.12.1",
    "typescript": "^2.6.2"
  }
}

and my tsconfig.json is:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
       "target": "es6",
        "lib": ["es6", "dom"],
        "types": ["reflect-metadata"],
        "module": "commonjs",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "outDir": "build",
        "declarationDir": "declaration",
        "watch": false
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "build",
        "declaration"
    ]
}

You must import reflect-metadata somewhere at your app root, either client or server-side. See Inversify documentation.
