'how to update older node project with ts and js scripts

What should I do if I want to run an older node.js project from GitHub? Eg. project: jaystack odata-v4-server-mysql-example (6 years old, at that time, node.js was version around 8.0.0), which contains of js and ts source code. Now the installation that is listed in the original code does not work. However, I would like to have all components under the current version. Is there a general solution to this problem?

Sorry, I'm a complete beginner, is there any documentation on how to update older projects?

I have node.js 16.14.2 and npm 8.8.0 and use Ubuntu-20.04 under wsl.

Thanks in advance for the links
