Probably not. I live in a parallel universe where `npx tsc` does nothing except spit out available arguments. I can first `npx tsc --init`, after which `npx tsc` converts the TS files into corresponding JS files, but that puts you no further ahead. You still need tooling to do anything with those files. In a universe where `npx tsc` knows what tool you need every time you run it – something completely incomprehensible in this universe – it is undoubtedly also impossible for those in that understand what we go through in this one.
