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

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
