Add .ts language files to Sublime Text to support additional syntax coloring

Question

I'm trying to add Typescript syntax highlighting support, which is provided by MSFT. However, I don't know what to do with that downloaded .zip to make Sublime recognize .ts files. I tried adding it to Installed Packages/Typescript, or just Installed Packages, but that hasn't worked. (I also tried extracting the .tmlanguage file and putting that in Installed Packages/Typescript.

What is the right way to do this? (I'm on Mac OS X 10.8 with Sublime text 2.0.1.)

Dropping the zip file contents in any folder under Installed Packages should be enough. — Mikko Ohtamaa, Oct 08 '12 at 16:44

Rosarch did [Claudijo's answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/12790025/61654) not do the trick for you? — ahsteele, Nov 17 '12 at 17:16
Can you updated the link to the zip file? This is not working. Thank you. — Agent Zebra, Jul 19 '16 at 21:28

To add TypeScript syntax highlighting support to Sublime Text on Mac:

Unzip the downloaded file. It contains a file named typescript.tmlanguage
Create a subfolder in your sublime Package folder called TypeScript. (The path to the Packages folder for Sublime Text 2 on Mac is:
/Users/{user}/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages)
Drop typescript.tmlanguage into your newly created TypeScript folder.

For me none of these ways actually worked as they should have.

Instead I had to hit (On a Mac and using Sublime Text 2) Cmd+Shift+P and then type Package Control:Install Package and then hit enter. You may see it load in the bottom left.

From there is was a matter of searching for the script (in my case TypeScript), selecting it and hitting enter.

If you go to the Sublime Text website, they have instructions there. To make it work in Windows you have to create the Typescript folder at:

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\TypeScript

and copy the typescript.tmlanguage file inside that folder. Claudijo provides an equivalent answer for Mac OS X users.

Searching on `Typescript` on the Sublime Text website link you provided does not bring up anything on `Typescript` – Agent Zebra Jul 19 '16 at 21:26
