Answer 1

You need to import classes from rxjs like so:

import { Observable, Subject } from "rxjs";

Why? rxjs changed their export layout to use a single export file instead of using paths to specify dependency locations.

Answer 2

It is due to mismatching of the version you downloaded and the angular version. You have to choose whether it is suitable or not to the angular version you use..

Answer 3

Try this

npm install rxjs-compat --save
