How to install download the TypeScript compiler (tsc) 
for stand-alone execution.

The instructions in this file were tried on Microsoft Windows 10 Professional,
but TypeScript is available for MacOS or Linux and are very similar.

1.0) 	install node.js (if not already present):
		https://nodejs.org/en/download/

	For windows, unzip the 64bit zip file into your local directory (or use the Microsoft Installer msi).

2.0) 	The command "node -v" will echo the current version of node.js to the console.

3.0) 	To install the TypeScript compiler, use this command:
		npm install -g typescript

4.0)	Once the TypeScript compiler is installed, use this to get built-in help 
	and TypeScript compiler version:
		tsc --help
	 	tsc --version 

5.0)	The on-line help for TypeScript compiler options are available here:
		https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-options.html
6.0)	Document for TypeScript configuration file (JSON):
		https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html


7.0)	For those who want to play with TypeScript via on-line "sandbox" instead
		of installing a local copy of the compiler:
		http://www.typescriptlang.org/play/

8.0)	Just for grins and giggles, the contents of the file "TypeScriptClientProxy(MAC)(AutoGenerated).ts"
		can be "copy-and-pasted" into the "left-hand-side" text input ofthe Typescript "sandbox" http site, 
		and immediately view the javascript generated on the "right-and-side" viewer.
