System Requirements

TSTyche requires Node.js and network connection.

TypeScript

TypeScript 4.x and 5.x can be used for testing.

Node.js

The minimum required Node.js version is 18.19. It is recommended to use the latest Long Term Support (LTS) release.

TSTyche supports and tests only the LTS releases of Node.js. Other releases might work too, but keep in mind that only the LTS releases are considered ready for general use.

The details regarding Node.js release schedule are available on GitHub (opens in a new tab).

Network Connection

To be able to test using a specific TypeScript version, TSTyche fetches metadata and tarball of typescript packages from the registry. Therefor testing on not yet used TypeScript version requires network connection.

From time to time the store fetches the latest metadata from the registry. This makes sure that tags like latest or next resolve correctly.
