Can't install tsc via Terminal in OS X

I'm trying to get tsc installed, but when I run it, I'm getting loads of errors.

I've tried to reinstall node and npm at least three times now, but to no avail. I set the flag to verbose for my npm, and here's what I got:

I'm at a loss. I've googled and gone to tons of pages, and this seems to work fine for everyone else, or they just have a different error. Any idea as to what the issue is?

Here's my current bash_profile, with node and npm installed:

export PATH="$HOME/usr/local/bin:./node_modules/.bin:$PATH"

Let me know if there's anything else you guys need to help me, and thanks!

So, I ended up finding a solution. I'm not sure why, but 

npm install -g typescript

will not work, but, out of my frustration, when I tried

npm install -g typescript@last

it worked flawlessly, and I've tested it with Visual Studio Code, and through terminal. I can't comment if this works on Windows or not. I guess you just have to npm the nightly build for now? Odd stuff. Thanks for the effort though!
