angular2 template - Angular 2 RC2 New Forms

Question

As suggested in article:

https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1RIezQqE4aEhBRmArIAS1mRIZtWFf6JxN_7B4meyWK0Y/pub

that in order to use new forms in RC2 we need to disable deprecated forms using below code:

import {disableDeprecatedForms, provideForms} from '@angular/forms';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
   disableDeprecatedForms(),
   provideForms()
])

Which apparently means that we now also need to include below in our package.json:

"@angular/forms": "2.0.0-rc.2",

But when I add "@angular/forms": "2.0.0-rc.2", to my package.json and try to restore packages it gives below errors:

npm ERR! node v6.2.1
npm ERR! npm  v3.9.3
npm ERR! No compatible version found: @angular/forms@2.0.0-rc.2
npm ERR! Valid install targets:
npm ERR! 0.1.0

Can anyone please guide?

"@angular/forms": "0.1.0"
