angular-cli and pipeline

Question

I have set up a pipeline so that when I commit my angular-cli project it will run tests.  No matter what I try though I always get this error:

Cannot find module 'typescript' from '/opt/atlassian/pipelines'

Here is my config file.  it has gone through many iterations but always the same error.

# This is a sample build configuration for JavaScript.
# Check our guides at https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/14UWN for more examples.
# Only use spaces to indent your .yml configuration.
# -----
# You can specify a custom docker image from Docker Hub as your build environment.
image: node:6.9.4

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - node
        script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
          - npm install -g typescript @angular/cli
          - npm install --unsafe-perm
          - npm run test:ci

the test:ci command is this:

"test:ci": "ng test --browser=Headless_Chrome --code-coverage=true --single-run=true",

what i do is i use the latest node image (8.11 in my current yml), and install the cli in the scripts with

image: node:8.11
pipelines:
 default:
 - step:
  name: Build app
script: # The script below will build the application.
   - npm install
   - npm install -g @angular/cli
   - ng build --prod --build-optimizer --progress=false

'- npm install' will install package.json packages from your app/branch
'- npm install -g @angular/cli' will install the latest angular cli globaly

afterwards you can use all the cli functionality you need.
This is an example of my build script, the last line '- ng build ...- you can replace with your own lines.

angular cli is not installed in our docker image. Use this configuration:

image: trion/ng-cli # Any docker image from dokerhub with angular cli installed.

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - node
        script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
          - npm install
          - npm run build
