Error when following the Quickstart steps in the README

I'm trying to follow the steps in the README to run this datasource in Develop mode locally using the GrAMPS cli. After I install the dependencies, I see this error if I run either "yarn dev" or "npm run dev":

yarn run v1.5.1
$ gramps dev -d ./
The GrAMPS CLI is intended for local development only.

If you are sure you have a compatible version of , it is likely that something in your build process is loading the wrong version. Inspect the stack trace of this error to look for the first entry that doesn't mention "" or "babel-core" to see what is calling Babel.

Successfully shut down. Thanks for using GrAMPS!

===============================

The above error happens if I used "npm install" to install the dependencies.

If I use "yarn install" to install the dependencies, I see this error:

The above error also seems to indicate a mismatch in the babel versions.

Hey, @timcdavid — I’ve been unable to dedicate time to GrAMPS recently (pretty much since I left IBM).

I’m happy to review and merge pull requests, but I’m not able to put any dev time into this project for the foreseeable future. (Happy to discuss adding other maintainers if someone is interested!)

Since GrAMPS was released, Apollo released a similar tool called data sources that solves a lot of what GrAMPS is intended to solve. This may be a better solution for you because it's actively maintained.

Thanks for opening this issue!

Should the hint about Apollo Data Sources also added to the readme of the GrAMPS repo?
