We need a way to automate the process of properly compiling our project and then run it. And, I'd like to have all this scripted with our MPN start command. So let's take a look at this. So the first thing we'll need to do is install a few things. So what I want to install first and lets do an npm install or I is ts node and we'll install it globally. So the ts node will allow us to run the project with typescript so once we actually compile our code from typescript to JavaScript, so we want something that we'll be able to run the typescript compiled code into JavaScript so ts node allows us to do that. And, as you remember, we need to do sudo in these cases. Once you have ts node installed, we need to install types for typescript so node JS, express, and a few other libraries actually created types…
