SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

It seems this can be resolved by adding "type": "module", manually to the package.json or using the .mjs file extension (source).

But it seems some recommended advice from searching around on google is to use require instead.

I'm not a web dev, so not sure what the recommended practice for ravens-engine is. But the tutorial should be updated to account for this, as I got quite stumped for a bit.
