## TL;DR

Upgrade Node rather than reinstalling the SDK. How to cannot import the Mindee Node module after installing the latest version.

## Steps

1. 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.

2. 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.
