Unable to launch using the readme commands

Hi,
Am I missing something as there seems to be a huge void between the read me and actual installation as I'm not able to successfully even get to running the downloaded project? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

npm run dev throws :

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.

• configuration has an unknown property 'mode'. These properties are valid:
  object { amd?, bail?, cache?, context?, dependencies?, devServer?, devtool?, entry, externals?, loader?, module?, name?, node?, output?, parallelism?, performance?, plugins?, profile?, recordsInputPath?, recordsOutputPath?, recordsPath?, resolve?, resolveLoader?, stats?, target?, watch?, watchOptions? }
  For typos: please correct them.
  For loader options: webpack 2 no longer allows custom properties in configuration.
  Loaders should be updated to allow passing options via loader options in module.rules.
  Until loaders are updated one can use the LoaderOptionsPlugin to pass these options to the loader:
  plugins: [
  new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
  // test: /.xxx$/, // may apply this only for some modules
  options: {
  mode: ...
  }
  })
  ]

Hey Tushar, downgrading sure helped but it's not the best, I will still take it for this project, Thankyou. It launches with report.html by default, however changing that to index.html, I still can't get the animations going in the project. Could you help me?
