Error with jasmine node module in angular 2

Question

I'm receiving the following error,

I've tried changing my version of typescript, but this doesn't fix the issue.
I've tried running npm update --save and still nothing works.

ERROR in [default] /Users/gdayton/Documents/auction/node_modules/@types/jasmine/index.d.ts:39:37 A parameter initializer is only allowed in a function or constructor implementation.

ERROR in [default] /Users/gdayton/Documents/auction/node_modules/@types/jasmine/index.d.ts:39:45 Cannot find name 'keyof'.

ERROR in [default] /Users/gdayton/Documents/auction/node_modules/@types/jasmine/index.d.ts:39:51 '=' expected.

You run a quick update for all packages and update the package.json file with updated versions, Follow these steps

Delete the node_modules folder.
Delete npm-cache from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming
Open command prompt and navigate to root folder of your application.
Check for the updates in npm packages using the command
```
npm-check-updates -u
```
Update all the packages and modify your package.json to current version using the command
```
npm update --save
```

Also, update the npm packages globally using the command

npm install -g npm-check-updates

Hope this must fix your problem, if not let me know.
