Cannot find name 'Symbol' when compiling typescript

I'm receiving the following error when trying to compile a ts file:

node_modules/@types/node/util.d.ts(121,88): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Symbol'.

I did some reading and saw that this can be linked to not having the correct target or lib options declared in the tsconfig.json file. I've tried a few different things such as changing the target to "es15" and including "es2015" in the lib, but I am not having much luck.

I am using this tutorial as a basis for my project:https://itnext.io/building-restful-web-apis-with-node-js-express-mongodb-and-typescript-part-1-2-195bdaf129cf
