How to create a tsconfig.json file and configure TypeScript compilation?

I have a simple index.ts file that I want to compile to JavaScript: ```typescript // index.ts const greeting: string = "Hello, world!"; console.log(greeting); function add(a: number, b: number): number { return a + b; } ``` When I run `tsc index.ts`, the file compiles, but I don't know how to properly configure the project. I've heard that I need to create a tsconfig.json, but I don't understand how to do it and what settings to specify there. My questions: 1. How to manually create a tsconfig.json? 2.

I'm using Visual Studio Code and I want TypeScript to automatically
