Unable to build

[ToddBeaulieu]

Hello, I'm quite new to VS Code, NPM and typescript projects, so I'm stumbling my way through this. I spent a couple of hours trying to get this to build. I got a lot of warnings about out of date packages, so I updated the versions in package.json.

It would be fantastic if someone could nudge me in the right direction.
