How Do I Compile powerbiclient Jupyter Widget
I'm trying to contribute to powerbi-jupyter , following the Contribution Guidelines. After cloning the project, I'm failing at the first hurdle with the following command, which just runs tsc
npm run build:lib
The version of tsc used is 4.3.5. The errors I am getting are

How do I get this to work?
Install a local TypeScript version (don't rely on global
tsc)In the project directory (inside
powerbi-jupyter-1/😞
npm install typescript@latest --save-devCheck that the correct
tscis used when running scriptsWhen you run
npm run build:lib, npm will automatically use the localnode_modules/.bin/tsc, NOT your globally installed old one — as long as local one exists.You can double-check by running:
npx tsc --versionRe-run the build
Now try:
npm run build:libDid I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos !!

Ok thanks - this seems to have worked. I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the version of tsc that the author used to originally create the project, but hey thanks again.
