Should the dependencies be peer dependencies? It seems like these should be provided by the runtime environonment:

  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/compiler": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/common": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^5.0.0",
    "core-js": "^2.4.1",
    "rxjs": "^5.5.0",
    "zone.js": "^0.8.12"
  },
