can't run samples

Hi @DaGhostman,

When I run it from the command line, I got this error :

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ts-node/src/index.ts:312
          throw new TSError(formatDiagnostics(diagnosticList, cwd, ts, lineOffset))

I'm running it from ubuntu 16, ts-node v1.7.2 and node v4.2.6.

Any clue ?

[DaGhostman]

Just was able to reproduce the issue. Turns out I have some global types that ts-node uses and that ended in the tool not working (I was soo excited :laughing: ) + I was able to identify a slight incompatibility with node:4 (I was using 6 while developing) the fix takes a few steps actually:

1. Update the devDependencies to ask for ~4.0 of `@types/node"
2. Point to set typeRoots in tsconfig.json to node_modules/@types/
3. add import * as process from 'process' in the bin/php-inspections.ts

I will commit the fix in a few mins

As far as I can tell 0a71ec9 resolves the issue, mind verifying for me :)

Iit's better, the list of error is smaller :

maybe it's the same reason : https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/5812

found the solution here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37260901/how-to-find-module-fs-in-ms-code-with-typescript

npm install typings --global
typings install dt~node --global --save

And after everything runs well :smile:

[DaGhostman]

Lol I was just getting desperate... I was going to set up docker just to reproduce :smile: Anyway, Ill add it to the README

---

But still it should see the typings inside the node_modules directory, unless I am missing something with ts-node

oups, i've made a npm install after getting the unable to find php-parser error :(
