I had an old version of firebase installed that was not allowing the new CLI to run correctly. I had to manually delete the old version, reinstall the new version, and then everything worked fine. Here's how I did it:

1. Run which firebase in your terminal to see where your firebase npm package is saved.
2. Delete that folder.
3. Run npm i -g firebase-tools@latest
4. Run firebase init and you should be up and running again without any errors.
