If you have already installed Node.js and TypeScript on your computer, then you are good to go. If not, you can download and install Node.js from here. Once Node.js is installed, you can use the following command to install the TypeScript and ts-node packages globally:
npm install -g typescript
npm install -g ts-node
Now, here are the steps you need to follow:
Open the TypeScript file you want to run in Sublime Text 3.
Go to the Tools tab, then Build System, and select New Build System.

In the new file that opens, replace its content with the following JSON object. The cmd parameter uses ts-node as per @idleberg's suggestion. @OdatNurd also recommended adding "selector": "source.ts" so that the build is automatically selected for TypeScript files.
{
"shell": true,
"cmd": ["ts-node", "$file"],
"selector": "source.js"
}
- Save the file as
ts.sublime-build.
- If the build was not automatically selected, you can manually build the script using
ts.

- Finally, press ctrl + B to run the script. The output should appear in the Sublime Text console.
