Cannot use import statement outside a module

[Jenifer-TheCoder]

I had installed the electron-extensions package in my existing working Electron sample.

Pasted below lines into main process:
`import { ExtensibleSession } from 'electron-extensions/main';
import { app } from 'electron';

const extensions = new ExtensibleSession();

(async () => {
await app.whenReady();
extensions.loadExtension('C:/.../abcdefghijklmnoprstuwxyz'); // Path to the extension to load
})();`

I am getting the above mentioned error, I tried adding type:module to the package.json file.
Nothing helped, may be I need to play around a bit.
Any suggestions?
