MS updated Power Bi tools but the tutorial remains for the older version.

I asked the same question yesterday.  Here is some useful hint:

Alternatively to that, you can run the old tutorial as-is by specifying the older version of the visuals tools.

In this section of the doc, you're asked to run this command:

 

npm i -g powerbi-visuals-tools

 

Run this instead:

npm i -g powerbi-visuals-tools@2.5

You can then proceed as normal.
