Can you configure cron jobs to run custom script on server?

I have written some custom scripts in typescript that I would like for my Magento2 application to regularly run. Ideally, I would like for my application to run these scripts once a day.

Does anyone know if this can be done? Perhaps with some kind of custom cron job? And if so, how? I assume if this is possible I will have to deploy my scripts to the server where my Magento2 application is running, but I am not sure where on the server the scripts would need to be deployed, as well as how I would configure the application to run them regularly.

If anyone can provide any helpful links or insight, it would be much appreciated.
