I assumed it was related to npm packages, therefore, I tried this attempt.

Somehow, web3 package was removed.

So, I tried to manually install it.

In conclusion, I personally think npm packages have dependency issues, but I don't really know what version this repo is expecting from me. Has anyone successfully created transactions? Or could you kindly provide your package list/version? Many thanks.
