Answer 1

I'm using node.js v10.16.3. The problem for me was that the typescript compiler was ignoring my tsconfig.json file.

Three solutions worked for me:

1. Install ts-node and use that instead to compile and run the file
2. Do tsc filename.ts --lib "es6", "dom" when you compile the file
3. Install @types/node which will allow you to run tsc filename.ts without errors.
