Unable to install dependencies

[briantopping]

I'm unable to get a start on the build. Seems like dependencies might be out of date. plugin-typescript hasn't been updated in years and there's a conflict with the typescript version it provides and the version in package.json. Remove the plugin and there's a problem with the dependency closure on slate, which is required by upstream Grafana libraries. Updating to 8.0.5 doesn't seem to help:

Apologies if I am doing it wrong, I haven't built JS software in a while. Thanks!

Hi @briantopping
Have you tried yarn install or npm install before using other scripts?

[ofir5300]

If it is not solved, please open a new issue

[briantopping]

Did anyone try clearing their cache and loading dependencies?

@briantopping Also please make sure you are using an updated node version (14 or higher preferred)
