npm is built around open source software. Every library typically has a net of dependencies, other libraries each developed by different individuals or companies, and published for free use.
However, creating and maintaining all this code requires effort that can be expressed in money.
"Looking for funding" is not an error, it is a way for library authors to express their request for donations.

Are you sure that you are getting errors, and not just deprecation warnings?

touch is Linux command. On windows just open notepad or any text editor and save your file, or right click in the folder to create a new file.
