TypeScript error: TS2304:Cannot find name 'Date'

Question

I am trying to create a date object of javascript to store current date and time

let now:Date = new Date(); 

But the below line show error in my intellij as the below error:

TS2304:Cannot find name 'Date'.

I am guessing as Date is javascript object and new Date() is not available in typescript or in my project, its failing.

I am writing angularjs 1.5.9 in typescript, I dont thing is anything related to angularjs.

How to fix this?
