nodejs: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

Question

I'm taking a look at https://github.com/intoli/remote-browser. I'm working in win10 with node 11.5. I've followed the instructions at the bottom of the repo:

# Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/intoli/remote-browser.git
cd remote-browser

# Install the dependencies.
yarn install

# Build the project.
yarn build

# Run the tests.
yarn test

Now when I try to run it using :

$ node src/index.js
E:\ENVS\js\remote-browser\src\index.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Browser from './browser';
                                                                    ^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

    at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:774:12)
    at executeUserCode (internal/bootstrap/node.js:342:17)

How can I get this working?

edit index.js:

import Browser from './browser';
import ConnectionProxy from './connections/proxy';

export default Browser;
export { Browser };
export { ConnectionProxy };
export * from './errors';
export * from './launchers';

You can't run node src/index.js. When you run yarn build it will create a new folder dist in the root folder, which has all the source code. Go to this folder and find the index.js file, open this to learn more.
