I'm currently working on an Angular project in Visual Studio 2017 and I've been trying to update my Typescript version to v3.2.1. I downloaded the installer from Microsoft, but after installation, I couldn't find the tsc.exe
file in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\3.2
folder. However, I did find it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\3.1
folder.
To inform Visual Studio about the new version, I updated the path in my Environment Variables > System Variables to point to the new
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\3.2\
folder. After this change, the tsc -v
command stopped working. Could this be due to the absence of a tsc.exe
file in the folder?
I'm also confused by the option to install TypeScript using NPM, which seems to install it in my user/AppData/Roaming/npm
folder. Should I opt for both installations?
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions regarding this matter.
