Angular 2.1.1 SystemJs.Config.js

systemjs.config.js

/**
 * System configuration for Angular samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function (global) {
    System.config({
        paths: {
            // paths serve as alias
            'npm:': 'node_modules/'
        },
        // map tells the System loader where to look for things
        map: {
            // our app is within the app folder
            app : 'ScriptsApp', // 'dist',
            // angular bundles
            '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
            '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
            '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
            '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',
            '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js',
            '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
            '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
            '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',
            // other libraries
            'rxjs': 'npm:rxjs',
        },
        // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
        packages: {
            app: { main: './boot.js', defaultExtension: 'js' },
            rxjs: { defaultExtension: 'js' }
        }
    });
})(this);

This file works.
Before, I was confused too, mainly due to the transition from older style of systemjs.config.js and the other configs.
Are you using *.ts for your project? Or using typescript in global (npm i -g typescript)?

I get this error when I tried to load '@angular/stuff' under

System.config({
    :
    packages: {
        '@angular/core': { ... },
        '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': { ... },
        ...
    }
});

Move them into map as shown in this gist solves it for me.
Hope this helps.
