'tsc command not found' in compiling typescript

问题

I want to install typescript, so I used the following command:

npm install -g typescript

and test tsc --version, but it just show 'tsc command not found'. I have tried many ways as suggested in stackoverflow, github and other sites. but it doesn't work. How could I know typescript is installed and where it is.

my OS is Unix, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, node version is 4.4.3, npm version is 3.10.5

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).

Easy fix for Mac I found. Just run these commands:

sudo npm install -g concurrently
sudo npm install -g lite-server
sudo npm install -g typescript

Nothing worked except this for me.

I had to do this:

npx tsc app.ts

If your TSC command is not found in MacOS after proper installation of TypeScript (using the following command: $ sudo npm install -g typescript, then ensure Node /bin path is added to the PATH variable in .bash_profile.

Open .bash_profile using terminal: $ open ~/.bash_profile;

Edit/Verify bash profile to include the following line (using your favorite text editor):

export PATH="$PATH:"/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node/bin"";

Load the latest bash profile using terminal: source ~/.bash_profile;

Lastly, try the command: $ tsc --version.

I know this is an old question, but I had this same problem on Ubuntu 19.10 LTS.

To solve this I ran the following command:

$ sudo apt install node-typescript

After that, I was able to use tsc.

I hope it helps :)

For windows:

Add the path by using command as below in command prompt:
path=%path%;C:\Users\\npm

As in my case, the above path was not registered for command.

%userprofile% in run windows, will give you path to C:\users\

This works perfectly on Mac. Tested on macOS High Sierra

sudo npm install -g concurrently
sudo npm install -g lite-server
sudo npm install -g typescript
tsc --init

This generates the tsconfig.json file.

回答8:

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 nite 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 ofc you really know what you are doing)

cheers

This answer is specific for iTermV2 on MAC

First of all, I needed to instal sudo during NPM install

sudo npm install -g typescript
NPM installs the libraries under /usr/local/Cellar/node/<your latest version>/lib/node_modules/typescript folder and symlinks at /usr/local/Cellar/node/<your latest version>/bin/tsc

hence I went ~/.zshrc ( .bashrc, if you use bash)and added /usr/local/Cellar/node/<your latest version>/bin to the $PATH.

reload the shell profile via source ~/.zshrc (.bashrc in your case)

I solved this on my machine by just running sudo npm install in the directory that I was getting the error.
