# TypeScript

[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/Microsoft/TypeScript](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/Microsoft/TypeScript?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)

[TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the [playground](http://www.typescriptlang.org/Playground), and stay up to date via [our blog](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript) and [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/typescriptlang).

## Installing

For the latest stable version:

## Building

In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have [Git](http://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) installed.

Clone a copy of the repo:

```
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
```

Change to the TypeScript directory:

```
cd TypeScript
```

Install Gulp tools and dev dependencies:

```
npm install -g gulp
npm install
```

Use one of the following to build and test:

```
gulp local            # Build the compiler into built/local 
gulp clean            # Delete the built compiler 
gulp LKG              # Replace the last known good with the built one.
                      # Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests            # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler. 
gulp runtests         # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure. 
                      # You can override the host or specify a test for this command. 
                      # Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>. 
gulp runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is gulp runtests. Optional
                        parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
gulp baseline-accept  # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint             # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help             # List the above commands. 
```


## Usage

```shell
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
```
