How to install typescript on Ubuntu

1. Install node

Firstly you have to install node, if you haven't done that yet just type these two commands:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

 

2. Install TypeScript

When your node is installed, you can proceed to install TypeScript:

npm install -g typescript
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

 

3. Check if everything works

Now check if everything working properly by typing this simple command:

tsc

Good Job for posting this Article. But, unfortunately I'll be switching from Ubuntu to Windows 10 again :'(

Windows 10 is great system too, especially for Microsoft technologies like TypeScript and C#
