What is the solution for the "Cannot find module 'typescript'" error in Angular 4?

Corrupt or missing node_modules can sometimes lead to this issue. Deleting the node_modules folder and reinstalling dependencies often fixes the problem.

  1. Delete node_modules and package-lock.json:
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
  1. Reinstall all dependencies: npm install

  2. Run the Angular project: ng serve

This approach ensures that all dependencies are reinstalled cleanly and that TypeScript is correctly added to your node_modules.
