Answer 1

This is an example of adding a module in app module file app.module.ts for example 'BrowserModule'

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

@NgModule({
 imports:      [ BrowserModule ],
 declarations: [ AppComponent ],
 bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Answer 2

You can't use this library from an Angular app. You can't query the user's mac address from a browser at all for security reasons. That library is intended for server-side node.js apps and has nothing to do with any client-side app's. More info here
