I followed Link to install the npm package from the file path

However, when I try to use it I am getting the following error.

Cannot file moduele '<module_name>' or its corresponding type declaration

Is there any tutorial to follow in order to install typescript-based npm package locally?

Here my package.json of the package i want to install

Usually for packages that support typescript, you would find a DT symbol when you open the package page in npm.
enter image description here

For installing the typescript package, you use npm i @types/{package_name}. For eg, in lodash's case you could do:

npm i @types/lodash

Hope it helps!!
