Cannot import the Mindee Node module after installing the latest version

## What this teaches

How to cannot import the Mindee Node module after installing the latest version.

## The problem

Issue mindee/mindee-api-nodejs#130 (closed, 3 comments): importing the SDK in an Express server failed right after installing the latest version. After some back and forth it turned out to be the Node version; it works on Node 18 and up.

## What worked (verified answer)

If the Mindee Node SDK installs but the import fails, check your Node version before anything else. This exact failure came down to an old Node; everything works on Node 18 and up. Upgrade Node rather than reinstalling the SDK.
