    When I try to update axios - it says its up to date but then I try to run the first step it tells me I need to update axios — when I try to see what the issue is with that I end up getting a prompt about an npm fund or something to that affect. When I run ‘npm fund audit’ I get linked to this https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects. Which it acts like is installed - or entirely ignores. I couldn’t tell which to be entirely honest.

    So this is the article I’m trying to follow. I can’t get past the first step because It’s saying I need to update Axios because of some security thing that got patched in a later version. Issue is that it doesn’t install the update - it’s stuck on 0.19.1 I believe. When I try to update past that version is when I start getting the response about npm fund, which upon an audit prompt just links me to this: https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects
