 ### 6. Build TypeScript
 
-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.
