[Angular 6.2.x] Cannot find module @storybook/angular

[ghost]

Describe the bug
I am trying to setup Storybook for Angular 8, however when running npm run storybook I am getting the following errors:

ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Button.stories.ts
ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Button.stories.ts(2,29):
TS2307: Cannot find module '@storybook/angular/types-6-0'.

ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Header.stories.ts
ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Header.stories.ts(1,32):
TS2307: Cannot find module '@storybook/angular'.

ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Header.stories.ts(4,29):

ERROR in /home/user/dev/storybook/src/stories/Page.stories.ts(1,45):
TS2307: Cannot find module '@storybook/angular'.

To Reproduce
Unable to create a reproducible test case as Angular 8 is not listed in npx sb@next repro and the node version I am using node@10.12 does not support the versions listed.

Additional context

My current package.json

NPM output while running npm run storybook

Steps I've already tried:

• Importing everything from @storybook/angular and not using @storybook/angular/types-6-0 Source
• Adding @storybook/angular/types-6-0 to .storybook/typings.d.ts Source
• Adding ../src/setupJest.ts to the exclude array in .storybook/tsconfig.json Source
• Adding "enableIvy": false to tsconfig.json under "angularCompilerOptions"

Vscode can see the modules just fine:

Notes
Although I am sure that Angular 8 is not supported by Storybook, I would still like some help as I am getting a lot of pressure from my bosses to "do the needful and whip up the thing for us" so we can have a components library. Sadly, upgrading Angular or node is not an option at the moment.

I have also created a question on StackOverflow for this exact situation.

Have you tried upgrading to the latest prerelease?

npx sb@next upgrade --prerelease

@shilman Same error, sadly.

I have included the full npm output when running npm run storybook in the original post

I think this might be related to an issue I wrote a few weeks ago: #15196

For this issue, notice that the Storybook is compiling with TypeScript v3.5.3, but VS Code's Intellisense is pointing to the ts3.9 types.

We’re cleaning house! Storybook has changed a lot since this issue was created and we don’t know if it’s still valid.

Please open a new issue referencing this one if:

• this is still a problem in SB 7.x
• you can provide a consistent reproduction in 7.x (at https://storybook.new/ or per repro docs).
