Angular2 Tutorial (Tour of Heroes): Cannot find module 'angular2-in-memory-web-api'

Question

I have followed the Tutorial. After changing app/maint.ts in the Http chapter I get the error when starting the app via command line:

app/main.ts(5,51): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'angular2-in-memory-web-api'.

(Visual Studio Code gives me the same error within main.ts - red wavy underlining.)

Here is my systemjs.config.js:

/**
 * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function(global) {
  // map tells the System loader where to look for things
  var map = {
    'app':                        'app', // 'dist',
    '@angular':                   'node_modules/@angular',
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'node_modules/angular2-in-memory-web-api',
    'rxjs':                       'node_modules/rxjs'
  };
  // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
  var packages = {
    'app':                        { main: 'main.js',  defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'rxjs':                       { defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': { defaultExtension: 'js' },
  };
  var ngPackageNames = [
    'common',
    'compiler',
    'core',
    'http',
    'platform-browser',
    'platform-browser-dynamic',
    'router',
    'router-deprecated',
    'upgrade',
  ];
  // Add package entries for angular packages
  ngPackageNames.forEach(function(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/'+pkgName] = { main: pkgName + '.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  });
  var config = {
    map: map,
    packages: packages
  }
  System.config(config);
})(this);

Here is my app/main.ts:

// Imports for loading & configuring the in-memory web api
import { provide }    from '@angular/core';
import { XHRBackend } from '@angular/http';

import { InMemoryBackendService, SEED_DATA } from 'angular2-in-memory-web-api';
import { InMemoryDataService }               from './in-memory-data.service';

// The usual bootstrapping imports
import { bootstrap }      from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { HTTP_PROVIDERS } from '@angular/http';

import { AppComponent }   from './app.component';

bootstrap(AppComponent, [
    HTTP_PROVIDERS,
    provide(XHRBackend, { useClass: InMemoryBackendService }), // in-mem server
    provide(SEED_DATA,  { useClass: InMemoryDataService })     // in-mem server data
]);

As for projects created using current CLI Tools, it worked for me by installing

npm install angular-in-memory-web-api --save

and then performing import as

import { InMemoryWebApiModule } from 'angular-in-memory-web-api/in-memory-web-api.module';
