Bundling for Live with Angular 2 and SystemJS-builder .. tries to load from node_modules?

Question

I am having trouble moving my angular 2 application into production.. it keeps looking for my scripts under node_modules.

I'm new to angular 2 but I after a half day of searching I can't seem to figure this out ?

Here is there error:

 > "XHR error: (404 Not Found) loading http://olweb/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js Instantiating http://olweb/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js Loading http://olweb/node_modules/@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js Loading http://olweb/application/main.js Loading application/main.js" 

Here is the index.html:

    <script src="~/scripts/angular2-dev.min.js?version=@version"></script>

    <!-- 2. Configure SystemJS -->
    <script src="~/systemjs.config.js"></script>
    <script>
        System.import('application/main.js').catch(function (err) { console.error(err); });
    </script>

Here is my gulp task:

 // // the following series of tasks builds each component of angular 2 into a temp directory - for caching in development mode // gulp.task('@angular.js', function () { var SystemBuilder = require('systemjs-builder'); var builder = new SystemBuilder('./', 'systemjs.config.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/core', appDevTemp + '/core.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/compiler', appDevTemp + '/compiler.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/forms', appDevTemp + '/forms.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/common', appDevTemp + '/common.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/http', appDevTemp + '/http.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/router', appDevTemp + '/router.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/platform-browser', appDevTemp + '/platform-browser.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/animations/browser', appDevTemp + '/animations-browser.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/animations', appDevTemp + '/animations.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/platform-browser/animations', appDevTemp + '/platform-browser-animations.umd.js'); builder.bundle('@angular/platform-browser-dynamic', appDevTemp + '/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js'); return; }); // // minify the development build for angular 2 // gulp.task('buildForDevelopment', ["@angular.js"], function () { return gulp.src([ './node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js','./node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js','./node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js', appDevTemp + '/*.js']).pipe(uglify()).pipe(concat('angular2-dev.min.js')).pipe(gulp.dest(appProd)); } ); 

And here is my system.config.js:

(function (global) {
System.config({
warnings: true,
paths: {
    // paths serve as alias
    'npm:': 'node_modules/'
},

// map tells the System loader where to look for things
map: {

        'ng-block-ui': {
        main: 'index.js',
            defaultExtension: 'js'
    }
}

});})(this);

After many different attempts and getting it half working I realized other people were also having issues. I wound up learning and using Webpack in less time than it was taking to try to get systemjs working, and it seems to work a lot better for me. Here are some code snippets from changes I made that may be helpful if you are trying to get systemjs working but I wouldn't recommend.

var ngpackageNames = [
  'core',
  'common',
  'compiler',
    'platform-browser',
  'animations',
  'platform-browser-dynamic',
  'http',
  'router',
  'forms'
];


//// these packages have different naming conventions.. manually specify them
packages['@angular/animations/browser'] = { main: '../bundles/animations-browser.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
packages['@angular/platform-browser/animations'] = { main: '../bundles/platform-browser-animations.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };

//// add package entries for angular packages in the form '@angular/common': { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' }
ngpackageNames.forEach(function (pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/' + pkgName] = { main: '/bundles/' + pkgName + '.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
});

var bundles = {
    '/Scripts/Rx.min.js': [
        "rxjs/*",
        "rxjs/operator/*",
        "rxjs/scheduler/*",
        "rxjs/observable/*",
        "rxjs/add/operator/*",
        "rxjs/add/observable/*",
        "rxjs/symbol/*",
        "rxjs/util/*"
    ]
};
var config = {
    map: map,
    packages: packages,
    bundles: bundles,
    paths: paths
}
System.config(config);
