SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word on typescript

I have not a project, just starting to learn typescript, so I have just one file main.ts with this code:

enum MiColor {Red=0, Green=1, Blue=2};
console.log(MiColor);
let backgroundColor = MiColor.Green;

there is not exists a compilation error, but when I try to run the code in my terminal

node main.ts

I got this error. so, why I have a runtime error as node not recognize typescript?

enum MiColor {Red=0, Green=1, Blue=2};
^^^^

Even though your file is .ts you are running as if it was JavaScript.

Install ts-node and run from it npm i -g ts-node, then you run your project with ts-node main.ts
