Thank you for answering my question. Can I use Typescript on SoloLearn though?

Answer 5

Jon no, Sololearn can't run TypeScript.
However, You can run them on Termux. Follow these steps to run TypeScript in Termux.

1. Install "Termux" app from Play Store.

2. Install Node.js in termux using the command pkg install nodejs

3. Install TypeScript using command npm install typescript

4. Install a code editor like Micro/ Nano using command pkg install micro. You can also use any code editor apps like Acode or Quoda.

5. Create a TypeScript file using command micro hello.ts This will open a editor where you can write your TypeScript code.

6. After writing typescript code, come back to terminal and type tsc hello.ts this will compile your TypeScript to JavaScript.

7. Now you can run it using command node hello.js and it will show output of your TypeScript code.
