I want to use the cytoscape library to visualize a protein-protein interaction network. I have already installed the node.js as well as the npm. However when I run this line (import cytoscape from ‘cytoscape’;) I receive the following error message. Does anyone faced the same problem or can help me to fix it?
The error message:
C:Program Filesnodejsnode.exe .sample_network.js
(node:5016) Warning: To load an ES module, set “type”: “module” in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)

I tried to uninstall the cytoscape from cmd and installed it again. Then I run the code again but the problem insists.
