I have already updated webpack and npm. I checked the installation page and it mentions that I should have the most recent webpack. Any ideas?

From going to the github repo, they actually mention to use css-minimizer-webpack-plugin for webpack 5.0

In addition to to this, I actually was stuck on the npm install so after deleting package.lock.json and reinstalling it was fine.

Adding to @pythonNovice, my config is as follows:

const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin')
const CssMinimizerPlugin = require("css-minimizer-webpack-plugin")
...
//const OptimizeCssAssetsPlugin = require("optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin")

In the optimization section:

minimize: true,
minimizer: [
    new TerserPlugin(), // optional
    new CssMinimizerPlugin()
    //new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({
],
