so you have to go to package.json and add a value called "type": "module"

wdym, you just go to package.json like just add a json value

package.json. If you can’t see it (I think you can by default, but I’m not sure) turn on hidden files.

keep in mind that when you do that, for module packages you have to do

import { ImportThing } from 'ImportPackage';

and if it’s not a module do

import ImportThing from 'ImportPackage';

You can use require("./sayCommand.js"); and assign it into a variable.
