I recently installed Typescript 1.8 and found too many breaking issues. So for the time being I would like to install 1.7. Where can I get a link to down this?

    This didn't work. I just get an error that says the version doesn't exist. What did work for me though was to just google for "typescript 1.6 download". This ultimately brought me to download the installer from a link. – AlvinfromDiaspar Jun 21 '16 at 18:27

    A range is specified like this: `npm install typescript@">=3.4.0 <3.6.0"` https://stackoverflow.com/a/51343886/16940 – Simon_Weaver Dec 16 '19 at 19:14

to install globally npm install -g typescript@1.7.5

to check open cmd and run tsc -v

to install it for the specific project you are working on change to the directory of your project

npm install typescript@1.7.5

and then check your package.json file

If you are using visual studio 2017, it may be using visual studio's version of typescript.

If you have a higher version of typescript and you want to install an older version, you can Uninstall the current version by this command(optional):

npm uninstall typescript

And then you can install the specific version you want like this for version(3.9.7):

npm install typescript@3.9.7

for Globally Install or Uninstall you can add -g to both of the above commands.

To install an older version of TypeScript, you can use npm or yarn package managers. Here's the step-by-step process:

Determine the specific version of TypeScript you want to install. For example, let's say you want to install version 3.9.7.

Open your command line interface (CLI) and navigate to your project directory.

Run the following command using npm:

npm install typescript@3.9.7

or using yarn:

yarn add typescript@3.9.7

This command will install TypeScript version 3.9.7 as a project dependency in your project's node_modules directory.

Verify the installation by running the following command to check the installed TypeScript version:

npx tsc --version

This command will display the TypeScript version installed in your project.

By following these steps, you can install an older version of TypeScript in your project. Remember to replace "3.9.7" with the specific version you want to install.
