I’m deploying node server and got this

I installed tsc in devDependencies
my .env

NODE_ENV = deployment

Hi KhayKhun.

I’m unfamiliar with Node/Typescript, but maybe you can install it globally using npm in Render’s Shell module? Is the TypeScript (tsc) compiler a typical dependency you add to your .env file or install via devDependencies? Hope this helps.

Is your .env loaded into the Render Dashboard for your app? If not, the deploy process won’t use it, which means the build phase of the deployment runs as $NODE_ENV = "production", which deletes devDependencies, which removes ts-node and renders tsc non-existent.

Thanks for replying but
as I’m using free mode, shell is not supported for me by render.com
I’ll figure it out in other ways
