I want to send 1 ALGO to my friend to show how amazing Algorand is but I can't send my transaction! what's wrong???

Inside of index.ts file, there is a script that sends a payment transaction that sends 1,000,000 microAlgos (1 ALGO) to the receiver's wallet. However if you try running the index.ts file after opening Docker Desktop and then running:

algokit bootstrap all
algokit localnet start
npm run start

it will fail and show this error: TypeError: Argument must be byte array
