I've been at this for over an hour and all I have managed to conclude is that I need help.
I'm on a new computer where I haven't been doing SharePoint Framework development, but now a bug has come up with one of the web parts and I need to get back at it. I tried to do an npm install of my cloned code when I started getting a series of failures/errors.

I'm not a full-time dev and I have gone months without doing any SPFx coding, clearly, so please be gentle. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide in getting my dev environment back up and running.
