Update Angular2 to latest version - node.js

Question

I am trying to update Angular2 to the latest version release candidate 4.
I have executed npm outdated and edited accordingly the package.json file.
Then I have executed npm update which failed. I haven't saved the error message. In the following I googled and tried several different npm commands. Unfortunately I cannot recall them.
The current status is, that npm update does not show anything; so seems to work.
The command npm start starts the server, but the browser console displays multiple errors. The first is:
http://localhost:3000/node_modules/#angular/platform-browser-dynamic/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
Besides npm install shows the following warnings:
typings WARN deprecated 2016-06-02: "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160317120654" is deprecated (updated, replaced or removed)

Follow these steps:

Run 'npm install' command.

Answer 2

In typings.json one must update to new registry value, if problem shows up for core-js
"core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160317120654"
to
"core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160725163759"

Answer 3

This might be outdated but your typings were never addressed. Given that you would want to always keep them up to date. Also for anyone else seeking to know about the update process
Here is how you could update/reinstall them
Example:
For your node to update it simply type
typings install dt~node --save --global
The following will update your node typings which would be in /typings/global/node
If you did not have node the same command would suffice and your index.d.ts will also be update with a new entry!
