can't get this to work

[npomfret]

I tried a fresh checkout and ran yarn install followed by firebase deploy --only functions. Lots of errors, more than I can add here. Some help would be appreciated.

Firstly, I need to run npm install typescript rimraf -g before I could get anywhere.

Then, using node v10 (because the functions require v10), I got a really weird error saying node 16 was detected. Couldn't figure that out at all. Tried upgrade to latest node (v20) and starting again, but got hundreds of typescript errors.
