Replacements for tsc ​

The npm package tsc is not the TypeScript compiler — it is a deprecated stub that prints "This is not the tsc command you are looking for" when run.

typescript ​

The typescript package is the official compiler and provides the real tsc binary via node_modules/.bin. Replace tsc in your dependencies:

json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "tsc": "^2.0.4", 
    "typescript": "^5.9.0"
  }
}

Existing "build": "tsc" scripts work unchanged once typescript is installed. For npx or global installs, use typescript — not tsc:

bash
npx tsc --init
npx --package typescript tsc --init

npm install -g tsc
npm install -g typescript
