Answer 1

I had the same issue npm i @types/[email protected] worked for me.

Answer 2

I had a pretty old version of @types/node defined in my package.json which did not match my actual version of Node.js.

i removed that explicit dependency with npm uninstall @types/node (and let npm do the magic with an actual peer dependency).
