Tried running docs locally from command line. Seems like VuePress version has issues?

I tried using the docs/package.json as downloaded as:

{
    "name": "docs",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "devDependencies": {
        "@types/node": "^18.11.9",
        "@vuepress/plugin-prismjs": "^2.0.0-beta.53",
        "@vuepress/plugin-shiki": "^2.0.0-beta.52",
        "vuepress": "^2.0.0-beta.53"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vuepress dev docs",
        "build": "vuepress build docs"
    }
}

It gave an error about codec problem:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please use @jridgewell/sourcemap-codec instead
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for [email protected].
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting

npm ERR! notarget

Googling this, I upgraded to vuepress, prismjs, and shiki all to 2.0.0-beta.60, but this issue still remains:

npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for [email protected].

Steps to recreate:
cd docs
npm install --cache /tmp/new-cache

Upon more searching this issue is caused by:
vuepress/core#1195

Basically they updated to a newer version of a dependency with a naming that causes the ^ and ~ to fail.

I'd suggest just switching those out to:

{
    "name": "docs",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "devDependencies": {
        "@types/node": "^18.11.9",
        "@vuepress/plugin-prismjs": "2.0.0-beta.60",
        "@vuepress/plugin-shiki": "2.0.0-beta.60",
        "vuepress": "2.0.0-beta.60"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vuepress dev docs",
        "build": "vuepress build docs"
    }
}

Well, it installs OK, but it doesn't run. :(

$ npm run dev
