What is "env" source?

[s-KaiNet]

Can you please explain this a bit more?
For example I run typings search node and results show me that node available as "env" source.
What does that mean? And how to install node from "env" source?
I've tried typings install env:node (ha-ha) without success.

See https://github.com/typings/typings#quick-start and https://github.com/typings/registry#structure. I'll be adding the sources from the registry into the Typings README ASAP.

wow, thanks for super fact response.
I'm confused about the syntax, because this page - https://github.com/typings/typings/blob/master/docs/commands.md says that you need to use : syntax instead of !, i.e. npm:<package> etc..

That's a separate feature. One uses the registry (source), the other is a scheme. You should see in the command that both syntaxes are documented separately, and both are valid. E.g. foo!bar finds "bar" of "foo" in the registry, while foo:bar resolves "bar" using "foo" resolution. In concrete terms, npm!debug finds debug on the registry and installs it. npm:debug uses node module resolution to find debug locally.

now it's clear. Thanks again
