The TypeSpec main defines the entrypoint for your library when consumed from a TypeSpec program, and may reference either a js file (when your library doesn't contain any typespec types) or a TypeSpec file.

 TypeSpec can only import JavaScript files, so any time changes are made to TypeScript sources, they need to be compiled before they are visible to TypeSpec. To do so, run `npx tsc -p .` in your library's root directory. You can also run `npx tsc -p . --watch` if you would like to re-run the TypeScript compiler whenever files are changed.

+Alternatively, you can add these as scripts in your `package.json` to make them easier to invoke. Consider adding the following:

+    "build": "tsc -p .",
+    "watch": "tsc -p . --watch",
+    "test": "mocha"
+  }
+```
+
+You can then run `npm run build` or `npm run watch` to build or watch your library.
+
+### h. Add your main TypeSpec file
 
 Open `./lib/main.tsp` and import your JS entrypoint. This ensures that when typespec imports your library, the code to define the library is run. In later topics when we add decorators, this import will ensure those get exposed as well.
