Cannot find module angular/animations

Question

I am using webpack in angular2 and when i try to run my app i get an error stating

Cannot find module \"@angular/animations\"

Answer 1

Perform below steps to make it work:

1. npm install @angular/animations@latest --save

2. import "BrowserAnimationsModule" from "@angular/platform-browser/animations" in your root NgModule (Without this, your code will compile and run, but animations will trigger an error)

3. In your component use imports from the new package like this - " import { trigger, state, style, transition, animate } from '@angular/animations'; "

This worked for me.
