The Angular CLI instructions in the readme.md seem to be missing some steps (although it's arguably more of a bug since angular2-highlight-js should be pulling this in as a dependency or peer-dependency and importing hljs itself, rather than faking it out with declare var hljs: any;).

I managed to get it working with the following [in addition to the existing steps from the readme.md]:

(1) add dependencies on highlight.js and its typings,

npm install --save highlight.js
npm install --save-dev @types/highlight.js

(2) select a style from the highlight.js/styles directory [e.g. monokai-sublime.css] and append it to the styles array in angular.json, and

{  
   "projects":{  
      "your-angular-cli-project":{  
         "architect":{  
            "build":{  
               "options":{
                  "scripts": [
                     "node_modules/highlight.js/lib/highlight.js"
                  ],
                  "styles": [
                     "node_modules/highlight.js/styles/monokai-sublime.css"
                  ]
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

(3) in a file with global scope (e.g. app.module.ts or polyfills.ts), import the default export as hljs from highlight.js and assign to the window object so that the angular2-highlight-js code can find it.

import * as hljs from 'highlight.js';
(window as any).hljs = hljs;
