Does anyone have step by step guide on deploying Angular2 #2461

I have been trying for several days to get the Angular2 project to deploy to Azure. I have read these forums and there are a couple posts with some of the pieces but nothing that is complete. For example, if I download my publish profile and publish the project the only thing that is uploaded is the web.config. I have found that you can right click on each file and publish those but oonce they are up there, then what? I tried using Kudu to do an npm install or yarn install... then npm start or yarn start... neither seem to ever finish and my web app is not running.

Deploying web apps used to be so simple... why have we taken a huge leap backwards?
