How do I install a typings that is listed with a different homepage?
Or maybe they exist for tsd but not typings?

Typings was just a tool to install those files. It is now best practice to just use npm. When you have installed those files, which basically only means downloading them and placing them in your project, the TypeScript compiler will understand* that external code and you will be able to use those libraries.
This @types scoped package is where we can find a ton of useful type definitions, such as for example the type definitions of node that allow us to use require for example.
I believe global has replaced ambient as a keyword,
and source~packagename is the syntax, for example:
typings install dt~node --global
still unclear what the env or dt typings repo distinctions are. surely dt is the default place that is searched, so why is there a need to specify it?
