Answer 1

try

npm uninstall lite-server

npm install -g concurrently

npm install -g lite-server

npm install -g typescript

Answer 2

This error is caused by missing TypeScript definition files. Please ensure that your angular version is correct. These definitions were removed from being automatically included in a recent beta release. You can install these definitions locally by using typings or tsd.

• Typings: npm install -g typings
• Tsd: npm install -g tsd

Then run the respective commands for the tool to install the definitions that it is complaining about.
