For those who have TypeScript installed as a local package (and possibly as a dev dependency) via:

$ npm install typescript --save-dev

...and who have added tsc script to package.json:

"scripts": {
   ...
   "tsc": "tsc"
},

You can call tsc --init via npm:

$ npm run tsc -- --init

If you don t want to install Typescript globally  which makes sense to me  so you don t need to update it constantly   you can use npx  npx -p typescript tsc --init  The key point is using the -p flag to inform npx that the tsc binary belongs to the typescript package

It is supported since the release of TypeScript 1 6   The correct command is --init not init     tsc --init   Try to run in your console the following to check the version     tsc -v   If the version is older than 1 6 you will need to update     npm install -g typescript   Remember that you need to install node js to use npm

You need to have typescript library installed and then you can use npx tsc --init   If the response is error TS5023  Unknown compiler option  init   that means the library is not installed yarn add --dev typescript  and run npx command again
