Paula Vogler 27 error trying to convert a javascript button to Lightning
I'm trying to convert a javascript button to Lightning experience using the SFDC converter but I keep getting a vague error: 
So I tried coping the data in the Preview window in the converter and creating a Lightning component using the developer console but I couldn't get it to work. I've never created a Lightning component before so I'm unsure what the exact steps are. Could someone assist me?
Here's what the preview of the javascript looks like:
So I copied that and went to dev console, selected
File>New Lightning Component and named it and selected the Lightning Quick action checkbox (not sure if that's what I was supposed to do) then clicked submit button. Not sure what to do from there so I went to File and clicked Save. I got this error now:
I'm unsure what to do to get this javascript button working/replicated for Lightning now. any help would be appreciated. I am NOT a developer so my skills are limited.

Hi Paula,
As you can see in the code (line 1) it is extending " LCC_GenericLightningComponent ". Make sure you have that component in your org and try creating this component again.
Thank you,
Vinay.
I'm not very skilled with code and I'm unsure where I would look for that component. What's more confusing is, the javascript button works fins in Classic still so I don't understand why the code is referencing a Lightning component. I did look on the same object as the button (Opportunity) under the Buttons, Links, and Actions list and did not see anythig with that name.
I just also realized that there are 3 tabs in the Preview screen of the button in the Salesfroce Lightning converter app.
I just took the code in the first tab it opened to (Component) but maybe I was supposed to use the code in the original cod tab instead ?
