Power BI Custom Visual - force directed graph API error

Question

I'm trying to create a custom Force Directed Graph using the source code on Github (PowerBI-visuals-ForceGraph) and following the tutorial available at creating-a-custom-visual. Unfortunately, when I try to start the custom visual using the "pbiviz start" command in PowershellI I get an error stating "Invalid API version v2.3.0".

The "circlecard" example project used in the tutorial, which also uses API version v2.3.0 in it's pbiviz.json file, works just fine. So I'm clueless as to what's causing this error. I'm very new to trying out custom visuals on Power BI so any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @UlugToprak. That error has gone away now. However, I get another one PS C:\Users\VAsher\forceGraph> pbiviz start info Building visual... error VALIDATION The PowerBI-visuals.d.ts in your tsconfig.json must match the api version in pbiviz.json (expected: .api/v2.3.0/PowerBI-visuals.d.ts) — Chipmunk_da
I tried searching for file PowerBI-visuals.d.ts but it doesn't seem to exist.. — Chipmunk_da
Did you use the pbiviz update that time or npm run start as suggested by the other answer? — Ulug Toprak
I used npm run start first and that threw an error. Later when I saw your reply I used pbiviz update and pbiviz start. Would that have caused this new error? :( — Chipmunk_da

Try npm install and then npm run start, that should work :)
