On “Is it possible to create a plain Typescript project in a Jetbrains IDE?”

The example shows an Angular project yeah, but you don't need to do that, you can just create foo.ts with `console.log('hello')` and compile that. The relevant part is 1) configuring Node in the settings like it show you and 2) having a `tsconfig.json` file Perhaps check out a YouTube tut if you're still stuck? Something like this, though I can't vouch for it link to this video
