@discordjs/rest: Cannot find module 'timers/promises'

[BeeFox-sys]

Please describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible:

In running a very slightly modified version of the code in the djs guide for updating commands, I have encountered this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'timers/promises'

**Include a reproducible code sample here, if possible:**

```js
require("dotenv").config();
const {REST} = require("@discordjs/rest");
const {Routes} = require("discord-api-types/v9");

const commands = require("./commands.json");

const rest = new REST({"version": "9"}).setToken(process.env.TOKEN);

(async () => {

    try {

        console.log("Started refreshing application (/) commands.");

        if (process.argv.length) {

            await rest.put(
                Routes.applicationGuildCommands(process.env.CLIENT_ID, process.argv[0]),
                {"body": commands}
            );

        } else {

            await rest.put(
                Routes.applicationCommands(process.env.CLIENT_ID),
                {"body": commands}
            );

        }

        console.log("Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.");

    } catch (error) {

        console.error(error);

    }

})();

Node version issue

[Joan0o]

shouldn't you like... fix it? I downloaded the recommended version

[DTrombett]

discord.js requires at least nodejs v16.6.

[Joan0o]

Oh alright

[BeeFox-sys]

yeah that was my mistake too, I was using node 14 rather then node 16
