APM-Demo5 npm install fails

[liammclennan]

npm install for APM-Demo5 failed on a fresh clone with an error about conflicting dependencies. I used npm 7.15.1.

yarn install worked.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

I sure love GitHub codespaces :) I spun up 2 new code spaces as per the images below. Using the latest version of npm 7+ fails due to dependency versions in the first image but npm version 6 works in the second image.

It is simple to work around by running npm i --force which I think is acceptable for a demo project in the short term and suggested by the error. We will update this in the next course revision and tagged as such.

@DeborahK I am not sure if we want to update the dependencies or put a warning on the readme.

What are your thoughts on this?
