'tsc command not found' in compiling typescript


A few tips in order

  • restart the terminal
  • restart the machine
  • reinstall nodejs + then run npm install typescript -g

If it still doesn't work run npm config get prefix to see where npm install -g is putting files (append bin to the output) and make sure that they are in the path (the node js setup does this. Maybe you forgot to tick that option).


I had to do this:

npx tsc app.ts


You are all messing with the global installations and -path files. Just a little error might damage every project you have ever written, and you will spend the rest of the night trying to get a console.log('hi') to work again.

If you have run npm i typescript --save-dev in your project - just try to run:

npx tsc 

And see if it works before messing with global stuff (unless of course you really know what you are doing)
