A nightly build from the master branch is published nightly to NPM and NuGet. Here is how you can get it and use it with your tools.

Using npm

Using NuGet with MSBuild:

Note: You'll need to configure your project to use the NuGet packages. Please see Configuring MSBuild projects to use NuGet for more information.

The nightlies are available on https://www.myget.org/gallery/typescript-preview

There are two packages:

• Microsoft.TypeScript.Compiler: Tools only (tsc.exe, lib.d.ts, etc.) .
• Microsoft.TypeScript.MSBuild: Tools as above, as well as MSBuild tasks and targets (Microsoft.TypeScript.targets, Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props, etc.)
