Node has experimental support for ECMAScript Modules: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html

If you insist on using that syntax, rename files with .mjs extension, instead of .js and run node with --experimental-modules flag, like this:

node --experimental-modules main.mjs

Using Node.js v12+, you can keep .js file extensions if you set "type": "module" in package.json file, in which case command to run it will be:

node --experimental-modules main.js
