General Set-Up Issues

[Liv Cella]

Hi, I am a TypeScript newb (Ruby/Elixir dev), but thought I would take a stab at using this library as it addresses a need my team has.

I am having a really difficult time setting this up for use with node.js and finding the documentation to be limited in its' helpfulness.

I have tried using this with both ts-node and manually compiling within my typescript script and am stuck in a loop of the following problems. It's clear to me at this point this is something to do with compilation.

Is there a set-up guide or a note of what versions of node.js and typescript I should be sticking to in order to get this working? Is there a known issue with this library and ts-node?
