Hi,

What version of Node JS is installed on your system?

[rusbomber]

v12.22.9

[justin-stephenson]

It seems the import declaration is supported in Node JS 13.2.0 and higher. You could try building with the v12 release. A majority of the changes in the latest release are build related changes, no new functionality in the module itself.
