If we write a Typescript program then how should we run it on Windows?

We already know how to run Javascript (.js) from a mand line on Windows:

C:\Users\Harikesh>cscript MyScriptFile.js

What is the equivalent for TypeScript (.ts) files?

You can pile the Typescript down to Javascript, and then run it from a mand line with Node.js, or in a web browser:

1) Download and install Node.js.

2) Open a Windows mand prompt and run:

npm install -g typescript

3) Navigate to the directory where your typescript file is in, and type:

tsc yourtypescriptfile.ts

4a) Run the resulting JavaScript file with Node.js:

node yourtypescriptfile.js

-or-

4b) Make an HTML file (in the same directory) that includes yourtypescriptfile.js using <source></source> tags:

<script src="yourtypescriptfile.js"></script>

5) Open your HTML file in a web browser.
