# Installation

You can simply `ember install` the dependency like normal:

```bash
ember install ember-cli-typescript@latest
```

All dependencies will be added to your `package.json`, and you're ready to roll!

**If you're upgrading from a previous release, see (./upgrade-notes.md).**

Installing ember-cli-typescript modifies your project in two ways:

* installing a number of other packages to make TypeScript work in your app or addon
* generating a number of files in your project

## Other packages this addon installs

We install all of the following packages at their current "latest" value, :

* `typescript`
* `ember-cli-typescript-blueprints`
* `@types/ember`
* `@types/ember-data`
* `@types/ember__*` – `@types/ember__object` for `@ember/object` etc.
* `@types/ember-data__*` – `@types/ember-data__model` for `@ember-data/model` etc.
* `@types/rsvp`

## Files this addon generates

We also add the following files to your project:

* [`tsconfig.json`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html)
* `types/<app name>/index.d.ts` – the location for any global type declarations you need to write for you own application; see [**Using TS Effectively: Global types for your package**](https://github.com/typed-ember/ember-cli-typescript/tree/3a434def8b8c8214853cea0762940ccedb2256e8/docs/getting-started/docs/ts/using-ts-effectively/README.md#global-types-for-your-package) for information on its default contents and how to use it effectively
* `app/config/environment.d.ts` – a basic set of types defined for the contents of the `config/environment.js` file in your app; see [Environment and configuration typings](#environment-and-configuration-typings) for details

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ember-cli-typescript.com/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
