worth considering starting to use npm scoped packages here:
@angular2/universal

[PatrickJS]

yup, that would be legit. I advocated @angular/universal in the past but the angular2 namespace works too. Although, the reason why angular2 was used rather than angular@2 was due to being able to run both versions of angular in the same app

@gdi2290 @robwormald
Yeah? how? I'm getting an error message on the build to production: (when I try to run the example node app - minimal universal)

I'm running npm build:aot
Then: cd dist
run: node server.js
go to: http://localhost:8000

I get error message:
Error: Failed to lookup view "../dist/index" in views directory "src"

Try for yourself!

@wizardnet972 if the starter doesn't work straight out-of-the-box you should rather put that issue on the repository for that starter.

If you have some other custom configuration it might be better to turn it over to stackoverflow.

Regardless the main universal logic is now merged into the angular core repository and this repository only contains the old logic for angular 2.X and some wrapper modules to more easily use what's in the core of angular.

@wizardnet972 which starter are you using? The angular/universal-starter has been updated can you try that one and see if everything works for you?
