Why do no Typescript commands appear in Visual Studio Code command palette?

Question

I ran npm install -g typescript, and I get in npm:

$ tsc -v
Version 2.7.2

I have a jsconfig.json file in a folder open. When I enter in the command paletteTypeScript: Select TypeScript Version suggested in the getting started here, I get no commands. Is there an extension I need to download?

Answer 1

You have to have a typescript file open in order for the commands to show up in the palette. Up vote vega if you found this useful.
