Cannot find type definition file for 'highcharts'

Question

I followed the installation and example from https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-highcharts however, I get the error:

ERROR in node_modules/angular-highcharts/chart.d.ts(1,23): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'highcharts'.

I'm working with angular-cli:

After googling a bit I found that some one has added "@types/highcharts": "^5.0.12" to "dependencies" in package.json. .. and after npm install ng serve -> no errors here.

on google console I get:

scripts.bundle.js:11 Uncaught Error: Highcharts error #16: www.highcharts.com/errors/16

where is my issue here?
