I followed the instructions mentioned on readme and I am getting the following error -

I am using typescript dependency in my package.json with version - 3.8.3 Command that I trying to run - tsc-silent -p tsconfig.json

Where am I going wrong?

Given that little information about your setup, I'd suggest you implicitly passing --compiler flag.

In the most trivial case, the call would look:

tsc-silent --compiler ./node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js ...

Same error here. I am using explicitly the flag --compiler.

tsc-silent -p ./tsconfig.json --suppress @ --compiler ./node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js

I am running the command in the root of my project where the tsconfig.json belongs.

The error:

I faced the same issue and specifying the --compiler ./node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js option did not change anything.

I don't know why it works but it looks like installing typescript globally solves the issue. You can do this by running the following command: npm install -g typescript.
