> SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[dcsan]

import * as fs from "fs";
import Replicate, { Prediction } from "replicate";
import urlExists from "url-exists-nodejs";

import { Clog } from "../../utils/Clog";

getting this:

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

does this package use ESM, or commonJS or something obscure?
i'm compiling with typescript tho running in jest... doing many other imports but compiler chokes on this import
