Description

Happening on both Windows 10 and Windows 7.

I have done the following:

npm install pm2 -g
npm install ts-node -g
pm2 install typescript

When I run pm2 start app.ts I get the following:

Interpreter C:\User\Me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\pm2\node_modules.bin\ts-node does seem to be available

I checked out that directory and sure enough there is nothing named ts-node there. I had a friend on a Mac send me a screenshot of his .bin directory and could tell that there was a ts-node symlink pointed to the ../ts-node/dist/bin.js file. I attempted to created a symlink (in Windows) and that did not fix it.

Is the typescript interpreter working in Windows? Am I missing a step required for Windows? It worked very nicely on my friends Mac.

Global installs:
node@6.7.0
pm2@2.3.0
ts-node@2.0.0
typescript@2.1.5

Research direction

Reproduce the Windows commands npm install pm2 -g, npm install ts-node -g, pm2 install typescript, and pm2 start app.ts; inspect the reported .bin/ts-node path under the global pm2 installation and how the interpreter is resolved. Done means a TypeScript app starts successfully on Windows without manually creating a symlink.
