### How to reproduce the problem from neovim startup

<details><summary>.vimrc.minimal</summary>

set runtimepath+=~/.vim,~/.vim/after

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug '/home/aron/src/nvim-lsp'
call plug#end()

lua < require'nvim_lsp'.tsserver.setup{}
EOF

set omnifunc=v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc


</details>

This works:

$ touch foo.js
$ nvim -u ~/.vimrc.minimal foo.js


But this doesn't work:

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ npm init -y
$ touch index.js
$ nvim -u ~/.vimrc.minimal index.js


It fails with this message (wrapped for reading):

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback:
/usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp.lua:484:
RPC InternalError message =
"Request initialize failed with message: Couldn't find 'tsserver' executable or 'tsserver.js' module"
```

Wanted to add for posterity that I had the same issue today. I just needed to do a global install of typescript to get it working. npm install --global typescript

Will you install typescript? IIRC, typescript language server is tsserver wrapper.

That did it, thanks!

My projects are JS not TS at the moment, so I hadn't installed typescript in them. But the typescript language server is used for both.

To be clear, this works:

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ npm init -y
$ npm i typescript   # added
$ touch index.js
$ nvim -u ~/.vimrc.minimal index.js
