Question

Unrecognized t

Answer 2

i have same issue faced when i typed command in editor but i got solution and i tried to command in system cmd so that execute easily and solved my problem.

so that try command in command prompt instead of editor.

Answer 3

The @ is making PowerShell treat @angular2-material as a variable.

• You could use cmd.exe (command shell) instead of PowerShell

or

• You could surround the package in quotes: e.g., "@angular2-material"
