npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of typescript@>=2.0 but none is installed

I've seen issue #775 already, which was closed as a duplicate of #765. That issue is currently closed, but looks like the problem persists, unless I am missing something obvious (for which I apologize in advance).

Steps to reproduce:

• npm i -g typescript
• tsc -v gives 3.3.3333
• npm i -g ts-node gives npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of typescript@>=2.0 but none is installed
• ts-node gives Error: Cannot find module 'typescript'

The issues mentioned above seem to suggest that typescript and ts-node should be installed locally; but the README says that ts-node can be installed globally.

Am I missing something? Thanks :)

It's described in the issue you linked to: #765 (comment). You can install ts-node globally, you can not install typescript globally. It's was definitely a bug when released, but it's part of 8.x now and I'm not in a rush to change this.

Edit: There's also no way to work around the NPM warning excepting removing it from peer dependencies altogether, which is a possibility.

@blakeembrey - Fair enough, but at least this should be stated clearly somewhere. I will open a PR, please take a look :)
