Installation of TypeScript

To install TypeScript on a Windows operating system, you can follow these steps:

  • Install Node.js: TypeScript requires Node.js, so first, you need to install it. Visit the official Node.js website (https://nodejs.org) and download the appropriate installer for Windows. Run the installer and follow the instructions to install Node.js on your machine. 
  • Open Command Prompt or PowerShell: Once Node.js is installed, open Command Prompt or PowerShell on your Windows system. You can do this by pressing `Win + R` to open the Run dialog, then type `cmd` or `powershell` and press Enter.
  • Install TypeScript: In the Command Prompt or PowerShell, type the following command to install TypeScript globally on your system:


    npm install -g typescript

  • This command will use the Node Package Manager (npm) to download and install the latest stable version of TypeScript. The `-g` flag indicates a global installation.
  • Verify the Installation: After the installation completes, you can verify that TypeScript is installed correctly by running the following command:


    tsc --version

  • This command will display the installed TypeScript version if the installation was successful.
  • That's it! TypeScript is now installed on your Windows system. You can use any text editor or integrated development environment (IDE) to write TypeScript code, and then compile it into JavaScript using the TypeScript compiler (`tsc`).
