(and the game will start running on your Command Prompt / Terminal)

Compiling and Running on IDE

when all the dependencies (as mentioned below) are successfully installed you can build and run the project using the below mentioned command : tsc && node index.js

Prerequisites

Before running the application, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js
• npm
• TypeScript

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone "https://github.com/AlphaAnas/12-Typescript-Projects-of-PIAIC-course" cd "07_Student_Management_System"

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install (to install node modules folder) npm install inquirer npm i --save-dev @types/inquirer tsc --init (to install tsconfig.json) npm init -y (to install package.json) (keep pressing enter to make a general tsconfig.json file)

Important changes to make (note I have already made this following changes for you, so you do not have to make the same, however remember to make the same in your own version)

In tsconfig.json file on line No.:14 change the *target* to *ESNext* i.e. `"target": "ESNext"` 
also tsconfig.json file on line No.:28 change the *module* to *NodeNext* i.e. `"module": "NodeNext"`
also tsconfig.json file on line No.:28 change the *moduleResolution* to *NodeNext* i.e. `"moduleResolution": "NodeNext"`

Then in package.json file on line No.:10 after ( "main": "index.js",) enter the following two lines

"bin": "index.js",
"type": "module",

## Development

### Run/ Edit the Application on IDE:

     Clone or download the zip of the folder from : `https://github.com/AlphaAnas/12-Typescript-Projects-of-PIAIC-course/tree/main/07_Student_Management_System`
     `Then run the following commands to install the DEPENDENCIES (if already not installed, however i have already installed and pushed the following for you in the repository): `
