Why is my file throwing an error on execution?

I am getting an error when I try to execute a file using the command node database.ts Can anyone tell me what the issue is with my syntax?

The file looks like:

import { Sequelize } from 'sequelize-typescript';

export const sequelize = new Sequelize({
    database : "zemit",
    dialect : "postgres",
    username : "postgres",
    password : "postgres",
    host : "localhost",
    port : 5432
});
sequelize.authenticate().then(() => {
 console.log("Connected to DB");
})
.catch((err) => {
 console.log(err);
})

The error says:

import { Sequelize } from 'sequelize-typescript';
^^^^^^

node runtime system does not support run a Typescript file file as a .js file. If you are working with Typescript, you have to transpile your .ts files to .js file with command tsc (require Typescript installed), then you run your generated .js file with node database.js command (instead of node database.ts)

Or you can use ts-node - TypeScript execution and REPL for node.js, then you can "run" a .ts file directly, with ts-node database.ts command.

Just replaced all the "imports" with "requires".

I had similar issue, searched online but didn`t got any solution.

Then I replaced import with require and it worked.
