I was following JSPM getting started guide and I want to install jquery package so I execute below command.

jspm install jquery

But when I try to import it in typescript like below

import $ from 'jquery'

I'm getting a error from typescript compiler saying error TS2307: Cannot find module 'jquery'. Not only for this library for other libraries I'm getting the same error.
