Issue using Material Radio Buttons in Angular 2 application

Question

Platform: Ubuntu 14.0.1 NPM Version: 4.6.1

I have an Angular 2 application in which I am trying to use Material Radio Buttons. I have installed those using following command:

npm i @angular2-material/radio

I added following code in Module:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup, FormBuilder, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { MdRadioModule } from '@angular2-material/radio';

Following is content of .html file (that breaks):

<md-radio-group>
          <md-radio-button value="1">Option 1</md-radio-button>
          <md-radio-button value="2">Option 2</md-radio-button>
        </md-radio-group>

When I run application I get following error in browser's console & my application breaks there:

nhandled Promise rejection: Template parse errors:
'md-radio-group' is not a known element:
1. If 'md-radio-group' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.
2. If 'md-radio-group' is a Web Component then add "CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA" to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message. (" <md-radio-button value="2">Option 2</md-radio-button>

Answer 1

At first install @angular/material and @angular/cdk, then import the related package inside app.module.ts file:

import { MatRadioModule } from '@angular/material';

Answer 2

Please install Material 2 using the following commands:

• In your package.json, change/include "@angular/material" and "@angular/cdk" version "2.0.0-beta.10"
• In your terminal window, navigate to the folder in your project where package.json is located.
• Run the command npm install

For importing MdRadioModule, use the following:

import { MdRadioModule } from '@angular/material';
