[Bug]: typescript compiler tsc exicutable dosen't exist and npx fail to recogonize tsc

[Ammar-Husain]

Problem description

I can't compile typescipt code neiteher with tsc file.ts nor with npx tsc file.ts

when i run tsc file.ts i get :

No command tsc found, did you mean:
 Command csc in package chicken
 Command tac in package coreutils
 Command tsh in package etsh
 Command tc in package iproute2
 Command csc in package mono
 Command ts in package moreutils
 Command psc in package n-t-roff-sc
 Command tic in package ncurses-utils
 Command ts in package task-spooler
 Command tcc in package tcc
 Command tsh in package teleport-tsh
 Command tsz in package trzsz-go
 Command tsp in package tsduck-tools
 Command tsu in package tsu

indicating that there is no tsc exicutable in the $PATH

when i try with npx tsc file.ts i get:

sh: 1: tsc: not found

i have both typescript and tsc installed in my working directory

~/.../files/typescript_test $ npm list
typescript_test@1.0.0 /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.spck/files/typescript_test
├── npx@10.2.2
├── tsc@2.0.4
└── typescript@5.2.2

i have even tried to install them globally but i got the same result i tried install them as dev dependencies but got the same result

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1.

pkg i nodejs

2. npm init -y && npm i -g typescript --no-bin-links

3. create a file and try to run it with: tsc file.ts or: npx tsc file.ts

What is the expected behavior?

file compiled successfully and file.js file generated

I would suggest working with code and NPM modules in Termux home directory.

/storage/emulated/0 does not support necessary features such as symlinks or file attributes including executables permissions.

And why you used --no-bin-links option? Without this one tsc is available.

Anyway, I'm closing the issue because it is not a bug and is not reproducible either if everything is set up correctly.
