Microsoft: "TypeScript 2.8 is here...! [Install it] by running

`npm install -g typescript`"

No. Stop. Don't do that. Don't npm install -g a tool you need in your project. Install it as a dependency (possibly dev) _of_ your project, so that other people who use your code don't have to globally modify their system to get your code to work.

As luck would have it, I've written about this very topic. https://spin.atomicobject.com/2016/02/22/npm-install-dangerous/ #Node #JavaScript
