'This is not the tsc command you are looking for
When I run tsc in the terminal (it does not matter where) I get returned:
This is not the
tsccommand you are looking for
I do not have TypeScript installed globally to my knowledge so what I am expecting is that It can't find tsc.
Solution 1:[1]
I had installed the old typescript compiler https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsc by mistake.
running where.exe tsc to find out what I was actually running suggested by @siddharth made me find the issue
Solution 2:[2]
The problem in my case was that I had installed tsc package instead of the correct typescript.
The fix is:
npm uninstall tsc

There is nothing to do as it's a very easy problem. Go to your vs code folder where you have installed node package. For example, in my system, it is:
C:\Users\vivek\AppData\Roaming\npm
First of all you will notice that both the tscServer and tsc files are not created. So first delete all the tsc files, then go to the vs code and uninstall typeScript like this:
npm uninstall typescript
Then again install the typescript like this:
npm install -g typescript

On my Mac, this fixed it:
npm uninstall -g typescript
npm install -g typescript
When I was fooling around trying to get started, i had done something like this:
npm install -g tsc #bad, don't do this
which had screwed up my install.

The tsc module is DEPRECATED! You only need the typescript module, if you need tsc!!!

Try chocolatey manager for typescript installation https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/typescript
choco install typescript
Solution 7:[7]
If using Volta or similar version managers you can do
npm remove -g typescript tic
pnpm remove -g typescript (if using pnpm)
and install it again with your node package manager of choice (globally)!
