Unable to import in typescript file in nodejs

Question

I am trying to import the underscore module in a Typescript file, but its creating trouble because when I run the typescript module in node, it throws an error:

Code:    
import _ = require('underscore');

Error:
import _ = require('underscore');
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

You have to compile the TypeScript file. Then, run the generated .js file in node.

I have a file watcher in Webstorm (the IDE I'm using) that does that automatically. Are there any other possibility?

Either WebStorm is failing to correctly compile the file, or you're running node on the .ts instead of the .js
