## Install and get started

You can find detailed installation instructions for the TypeScript SDK in the [Quickstart](/develop/typescript/set-up-your-local-typescript).

There's also a short walkthrough of how to use the Temporal primitives (Activities, Workflows, and Workers) to build and run a Temporal application to get you up and running.

Once your local Temporal Service is set up, continue building with the following resources:

- [Develop a Workflow](/develop/typescript/workflows/basics)
- [Develop an Activity](/develop/typescript/activities/basics)
- [Start an Activity execution](/develop/typescript/activities/execution)

## Linting and types in TypeScript 

If you started your project with `@temporalio/create`, you already have our recommended TypeScript and ESLint
configurations.

If you incrementally added Temporal to an existing app, we do recommend setting up linting and types because they help catch bugs well before you ship them to production, and they improve your development feedback loop. Take a look at our recommended [.eslintrc](https://github.com/temporalio/samples-typescript/blob/main/.shared/.eslintrc.js) file and tweak to suit your needs.
