tsd install jquery --save Doesn't Install When Run

Question

I've just started learning TypeScript, and I'm making a project that requires me to run tsd install jquery --save. When I ran that command, I received an error saying "The type definition index.d.ts does not exist. Create one and try again."

I've googled the error and I found that the command has updated to typings instead of tsd instead. Not sure if that's correct, however.

I then tried running typings install jquery --save but that didn't work either.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Answer 1

The tsd utility is deprecated, but you can install types directly using NPM.

All of the official types from Definitely Typed can be found in the @types organisation.

npm install --save @types/jquery

There is a type search available on Definitely Typed.
