[TypeScript] Installing TypeScript and Running the TypeScript Compiler (tsc)

This lesson shows you how to install TypeScript and run the TypeScript compiler against a .ts file from the command line.

install:

npm install -g typescript

tsc -v // version 

app.ts:

class Person{}

tsc app.ts

tsc --out bundle.js app.ts

tsc -w --out bundle.js app.ts
