I'd like to start developing LWCs in my dev sandbox, but it's current api version is 44. I get this error when trying to deploy my lwc.

Has anyone else been able to successfully deploy a lwc to an org with an api version that is not 45?
Best Answer
Short answer , you will need pre-release org and API version 45 atleast.
Sign up here for the pre-release org https://www.salesforce.com/form/signup/prerelease-spring19/
You will need pre-release CLI plugin to scaffold the bundle .Install the SFDX CLI (https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli) and then install pre release DX plugin
sfdx plugins:install salesforcedx@pre-release.Install the VScode extension pack for salesforce https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=salesforce.salesforcedx-vscode to get syntax autocomplete , deploy and other language features .
