I think I've having the same issue. Easy way to reproduce, for me, was to run:

$ docker run -it node
# npx tsdx create mylib

But I also get the same error running npx tsdx create mylib under Windows (Cannot find module 'typescript').

If, instead, I run yarn add tsdx so that it is installed locally in a package I get the error message: warning " > tsdx@0.10.0" has unmet peer dependency "typescript@3".. The result is that if, from that repo where tsdx is installed locally, I do npx tsdx create ../foo, I again get Cannot find module 'typescript'.

However, doing yarn add typescript tsdx and then running npx tsdx create ../foo it then runs.

Bottom line, it seems that having typescript as a peer dependency is not a good idea for something to be run via npx. I suspect it was globally installed during testing or something which is how this was missed.

Same error here:

$ npx tsdx create tsdx-demo
Cannot find module 'typescript'

Software	Version(s)
TSDX	0.10
TypeScript	not installed globally
Yarn	1.19.1
npm	6.9.0
node	10.16.3
OS	Ubuntu 18.04

Using npx tsdx@0.9 create tsdx-demo worked.

I am having the same issue with getting the error Cannot find module 'typescript' when trying to run with v0.10
