There is no linux package for it. It's Microsoft's version of javascript,
and can be installed using npm, the Node.js Package Manager. See https://www.typescriptlang.org/download

The npm program is in the package npm.

but then when I echo $PATH I get

[santo@localhost ~]$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/qt5/bin:/ho me/santo/.local/bin:/home/santo/bin/

....and from here I do not know where to go because I do not know where I am...

When you are dyslexic, you have to work much harder to make sure that
you have gotten the the command to be EXACTLY what was requested. Copy
and paste is one possible way.

I know nothing about typescript or nmn, however if you want to find the typescript command do
(as root)
updatedb
locate typescript

That will show you all files which contain the word typescript in the
filename.
One of them will probably be the command you want. The problem is
probably that the command is in a directory which is not part of your
PATH.
echo $PATH
edit .bashrc and put the new directory you want searched for commands at
the end of the PATH= line, with a colon in front of the new path
directory (and no spaces of commas) and no colon at the end of the PATH=
line.

Looked into this more. From
https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript as root run
npm install -g typescript

Then you can compile typescript programs using the command tsc. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/typescript-in-5-minutes.html

Apologies to all...the fact is that my memory ( and my hidden dislexya...) failed me...I checked as you said and the command is not 'typescript'
but 'script'...

santo@localhost ~]$ script
Script started, file is typescript
[santo@localhost ~]$

the file was saved as 'typescript' and not 'transcript'

To me it was and is useful as I could keep
record of what I do on the command line in
case I make mistakes if I need help to solve them...
Thank you for your patience and help

From Mageia Forum got the suggestion to install through the
repositores so in MCC 'Install Remove Software I typed 'npm'
( and not 'typescript as I did earlier without luck...)and found
it...I
uninstalled it and then installed it again...same result

[santo@localhost ~]$ typescript bash: typescript: command not found

I remember years ago that just by typing typescript I would get a
message that the outcome of the command I would type next would be
saved in a file called 'transcript' in /home directory...was so easy
to use and useful for me...now it is installed I believe but still
'command not found'
what is it that I am missing?

I know nothing about typescript or nmn, however if you want to find the
typescript command do (as root)
updatedb locate typescript

Apologies to all...the fact is that my memory ( and my hidden
dislexya...)
failed me...I checked as you said and the command is not 'typescript'
but 'script'...

santo@localhost ~]$ script Script started, file is typescript [santo@localhost ~]$

the file was saved as 'typescript' and not 'transcript'

To me it was and is useful as I could keep record of what I do on the
command line in case I make mistakes if I need help to solve them...
Thank you for your patience and help Santo
