Problem running Vite build following YouTube video, also problem installing as in readme -- Error Node Module esbuild

[5IM-I-LAR]

I'm having a problem initializing Vite build with npm in VSCode...

When I try to install:

    npm init @vitejs/app
    Select a framework: vanilla
    Select a variant:

the options aren't (like I see in the YouTube tutorial)

    >JavaScript
    >TypesScript

they are

     >vanilla
     >vanilla-ts

If I go ahead with the 'vanilla' option (as there is no 'JavaScript' option for some reason??), am receiving error on npm install.

The problem seems to be with the esbuild?

npm ERR! path /../prjct-vite/node_modules/esbuild
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c node install.js

Does anyone else have any experince with this?

I'm stuck and don't know where to go to find answers...

npm -v7.19.1
node -v14.17.3

form the debug log:

133 error code 1
134 error path /../prjct-vite/node_modules/esbuild
135 error command failed
136 error command sh -c node install.js
137 error dyld: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime

If follow readme only:

If I try to run:

git clone 
npm install
npm run dev

also geting errors on npm install:

npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry.

If you're still having issues, I wound up having issues using Vite as well (I'm on windows), so I went with rendering using React instead.
Live version works at Three D Website
Code is here: Three D Code
Any more tips from the fireship team welcome. Hope this helps.

I am having the same issue. DrewDevero's code works though.
