NodeJS-Typescript-Yarn : Error: Cannot find module 'd3' - node.js

Question

I'm getting this error and couldn't resolve d3 import . I'm using Typescript#4.0.5 and Yarn
The file Layout.ts (Layout.js) imports d3 which throws an error.
import * as D3 from "d3";
and yarn build
$ yarn build
yarn run v1.22.5
$ tsc && node dist/lib/index.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:834
throw err;
^

Answer 1

There is in built in command build in yarn.
All possible options you can find here.
Try yarn install instead

Answer 2

After a few days, gave it a try again, found a solution for adding type d3,
for old versions,
add globals
yarn install typings --global.
search for typings named d3
yarn typings search --name d3
if not exist install it,
yarn typings install d3 --save. //for old versions
yarn add #types/d3. //latest versions
and it worked as expected!
