Typescript compiler hangs forever

I have a pretty small typescript app (few files). Everything works and compiles locally. However, whenever I try to do it on my droplet, the tsc script hangs forever.

I ran the build with --verbose flag and here’s the output. Does anyone know why the tsc command hang forever?

root@jcm-v2:/var/www/html/jcm-api-v2# tsc --verbose
error TS5093: Compiler option '--verbose' may only be used with '--build'.
