nx-console: Nx Console unable to start in VS Code

Current Behavior

I cannot start the NX console and therefore not connect it to my workspace and use any of the functionality. There are a few errors displayed as notification and the output has issues as well.

This is probably a duplicate of https://github.com/nrwl/nx-console/issues/1891. But that one seemed stale.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the console to bring this dependecy with me, or tell me how to solve it.

Steps to Reproduce

I am not sure. It seems to be connected to the fact that the environment which I work in is running behind a firewall which blocks most of the internet traffic. I can install npm packages directly.

The console was installed through VSIX.

I think it would be reproducible, on a pristine system without internet and a new VS code installation. Then try to install the console through VSIX.

The solution is probably to manually install the watcher dependency on the system. But I would not know how this needs to be done, so Nx Console finds it.
