I recommend using typescript 2.0+ and adding to your tsconfig.json:

{ 
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["es2015", "dom"]
  }
}

This tells typescript to use the .d.ts files from /node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.<library>.d.ts

try typings install --global dt~es6-shim

Let me know if it works or not.

@ivanvoznyakovsky Fixed it by installing es6-shim typings

Or just include it in your package.json @types/es6-promise (In typescript 2.x)

npm i --save @types/es6-promise

node_modules/@types/selenium-webdriver/remote.d.ts(139,29): error TS2304: Cannot find name ‘Map’.

i fix by removing in Map<string, string> | in setEnvironment(env: Map<string, string> | {[name: string]: string} | null):

At file “tsconfig.json” try one of these options:

if “target”: “es5” add , “lib”: [ “es6” ]
or change “target”: “es5” to “target”: “es6”

This worked for me

npm install typings --global
typings install --global dt~es6-shim
then I added - “lib”: [“es2015”, “dom”] to compilerOptions . Now it builds fine without those errors.
