If you're like me you create scripts to automate things all the time. While you can do quite a bit with , it's just a lot easier to use your primary language--in this case TypeScript.

I'm going to assume you already have node and npm installed and your globally installed packages are in your path. Once you have that setup, globally install . ts-node npm i -g ts-node Create the Script If you've made it this far then it's time to create your script. The only magic that's required is the first line needs to be a shebang statement. #!/usr/bin/env ts-node This tells bash that it should use to execute the contents of the file. Here's my sample script. ts-node #! bin/env ts-node { .info(message);
}

test( ); /usr/ ( ) function test message: string console "Hello TypeScript!" Now mark the script as executable. chmod +x ./test.ts And now you can directly execute your typescript file! Previously published at https://justwriteapps.com/running-typescript-without-compiling/
