but;

$ ls /mnt/c/ProgramData/nvm/v23.11.0/node_modules/@vercel/ncc/dist/ncc/typescript.js
/mnt/c/ProgramData/nvm/v23.11.0/node_modules/@vercel/ncc/dist/ncc/typescript.js

so file exists ...

It was saying that typescript does not exist, which is required by the */ncc/typescript.js. Run npm i typescript -D to install

@BrandonStudio
Ah I see - did not realize it was not installed, since node accepting .ts files (with types only) - Is there a reason ncc does not install typescript as a dependency of ncc ?
