Setup

Getting started with TypeScript is as easy as installing a package. First, make sure Node.js is installed on your machine - that's the foundation you need. Then install TypeScript globally, which adds the `tsc` compiler to your toolbelt. Finally, create a `tsconfig.json` to configure your project settings.

Installation and Setup

Start by installing Node.js if you don't have it. Then install TypeScript globally using npm. Create a tsconfig.json file to configure your project - you can start with the default settings and customize as you go. This establishes a solid foundation for your TypeScript journey.

npm install -g typescript

// Create tsconfig.json
touch tsconfig.json

// Add this to tsconfig.json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "outDir": "./dist",
        "rootDir": "./src",
        "strict": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true
    }
}
