Can't use the typescript module

[andrerigon]

I can't run pm2 with the typescript module. I have a processes.json with the following, among other scripts:

 {
    "script": "src/main/entryPoints/persister.ts",
    "name": "persister",
    "source_map_support": true
  }

But when I try to run pm2-docker start pm2/processes-dev.json

I receive the full output of tsc --help:

[STREAMING] Now streaming realtime logs for [all] processes

0|typescri |  -p FILE OR DIRECTORY, --project FILE OR DIRECTORY  Compile the project given the path to its configuration file, or to a folder with a 'tsconfig.json'.

How it was installed:

yarn global add  ts-node@3.0.4 typescript@2.3.2 pm2@2.4.6 \
     && pm2 install typescript@2.3.2 

pm2 list output sometimes shows:

 Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app

Thanks in advance.

you cannot do pm2 install typescript@2.3.2

Just type pm2 install typescript

Keep me updated

Hi, thanks for the update. I'll try that ASAP. But won't it install the latest version (^2.4.0)? I need to use the 2.3.2, since the 2.4.0 is more about weak types and can't compile part of the code. Is that possible?

I see, it's quite simple to implement a regexp there: https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/blob/development/lib/API/Modules/Modularizer.js#L347

Feel free to send a PR!

fix added feel free to try it:

$ npm install Unitech/pm2#development -g
