Answer 1

My problem was that when I originally created my package.json file, I had made the "version" key correspond to a value of "1.0.0". When I changed that to version value to reflect the version I wanted to use under my "dependencies" key, I got rid of the error. There is a picture below of the potential fix. Notice how the "version" and "mongodb" under "dependencies" match.
