Is it me or is the real problem that someone wrote a package and quickly wrote use “import ...“ instead of writing “const x = require(“...“

Node works fine out of the box from the command line, modules just need to have the correct instructions for the README.

That wouldn't have helped anyway. The file was written in TypeScript. Node would have barfed immediately.

Libraries with TS codebase almost always have a prebuilt bundle.
