As approved answer didn't mention possibility to actually create your own typings file, and import it there, let me add it below.

Assuming you use npm as your package manager, you can:

npm i @types/node --save-dev

Then in your tsconfig file:

tsconfig.json

"include": ["typings.d.ts"],

Then create your typings file:

typings.d.ts

import 'node/globals'

Done, errors are gone, enjoy TypeScript :)
