Setting Up Your Development Environment: Installing TypeScript

Congratulations on taking the first step towards mastering TypeScript! In this blog post, we’ll guide you through installing TypeScript, an essential tool for enhancing your JavaScript development workflow.

Installing TypeScript

To install TypeScript, we’ll use NPM (Node Package Manager), which comes bundled with Node.js. If you don’t have Node.js installed on your system, don’t worry! The TypeScript installation process will automatically detect this and install Node.js and NPM for you if required. Here’s how to proceed:

1. Open Terminal: Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Install TypeScript: Run the following command to install TypeScript globally:

npm install -g typescript

1. Verify Installation: After the installation is complete, verify that TypeScript is installed by running tsc --version in your terminal.
