Project fails to compile after adding moment library and its typings to the project

See original GitHub issue

I have done the following list of commands using the angular-cli@0.0.24 on windows and linux. The last ng serve command throws the “Cannot find namespace ‘moment’” error.

ng new ng2cli-moment
cd ng2cli-moment/
ng serve
npm i moment --save
ng serve
typings install moment --ambient --save
ng serve
