Relay LS and Relay Compiler error out

Firstly, I think I have greatly under estimated the amount of effort Relay team must have put in to unsure infra reliability @ FB. This is because I actually used to work at Facebook and working with Relay was an absolute delight.

### **PS: Could not find the OG #Thanksbot icon so using a Thanccbot instead!** 🙂

Now Im in the real world and trying to set this up from scratch. I am super bullish on Relay but I am hitting some snags!

# What
Trying to get Relay Compiler and Relay's VSCode plugin to work.

## Relay: Restart (via Command Palette)
Produces this output:
