-## Frequently asked questions
-
-### Getting errors when type checking like `cannot find namespace NodeJS`
-
-One of the modules you are using has type definitions that depend upon the
-NodeJS global namespace, but those types don't include the NodeJS global
-namespace in their types.
-
-The quickest fix is to skip type checking. You can do this by using the
-`--no-check` flag.
-
-Skipping type checking might not be acceptable though. You could try to load the
-Node.js types yourself. For example from UNPKG it would look something like
-this:
-
-```ts
-import type {} from "https://unpkg.com/@types/node/index.d.ts";
-```
-
-Or from esm.sh:
-
-```ts
-import type {} from "https://esm.sh/@types/node/index.d.ts";
-```
-
-Or from Skypack:
-
-```ts
-import type {} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@types/node/index.d.ts";
-```
-
-You could also try to provide only specifically what the 3rd party package is
-missing. For example the package `@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb` has a dependency on
-the `NodeJS.ProcessEnv` type in its type definitions. In one of the modules of
-your project that imports it as a dependency, you could put something like this
-in there which will solve the problem:
-
-```ts
-declare global {
- namespace NodeJS {
- type ProcessEnv = Record<string, string>;
- }
-}
-```
-
-### Getting type errors like cannot find `document` or `HTMLElement`
-
-The library you are using has dependencies on the DOM. This is common for
-packages that are designed to run in a browser as well as server-side. By
-default, Deno only includes the libraries that are directly supported. Assuming
-the package properly identifies what environment it is running in at runtime it
-is "safe" to use the DOM libraries to type check the code. For more information
-on this, check out the
-[Targeting Deno and the Browser](../typescript/configuration.md#targeting-deno-and-the-browser)
-section of the manual.
