Error: typescript-eslint does not support TS 7.0. — install TS 7 side-by-side with @typescript/typescript6

Fix

Alias the 6.0 API as typescript for tools, and install 7.0 under another name for tsc:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@typescript/native": "npm:typescript@^7.0.2",
    "typescript": "npm:@typescript/typescript6@^6.0.2"
  }
}

Then rm -rf node_modules && npm install. npx tsc runs 7.0; require('typescript') (typescript-eslint, editor plugins) gets 6.0. No ESLint config change is needed. @typescript/typescript6 alone installs only a tsc6 binary. Alternatively stay on typescript@~6.0 until tools support 7.1.

Symptom

After npm install -D typescript@latest (7.0.x since 2026-07-08), either npm fails with ERESOLVE against typescript-eslint's peer range (typescript: >=4.8.4 <6.1.0 as of typescript-eslint 8.71.2), or, if forced, every ESLint run exits with Error: typescript-eslint does not support TS 7.0. Other tools that require('typescript') for its compiler API (ts-loader-style integrations, Volar/Vue, Svelte, Astro, MDX checkers) also can't use 7.0.

Cause

TypeScript 7.0 is the native (Go) port and "does not ship with an API"; a new, different API is expected in 7.1. typescript-eslint's parser checks ts.versionMajorMinor and throws for major >= 7 (tracking issue typescript-eslint#10940). Microsoft's answer is to run 7.0 side by side with the 6.0 JS API via @typescript/typescript6.

Verify

npx tsc --version prints 7.0.x (if it prints 6.x, a stale bin link survived — reinstall clean), node -p "require('typescript').version" prints 6.0.x, and npx eslint . runs type-aware rules.
