Error: Cannot find module 'sendgrid' when using sendgrid

I keep getting an 'Error: Cannot find module 'sendgrid' in my console when attempting to execute my code. I have never used sendgrid before, am I doing something wrong?

 SENDGRID =
  "<key>";

const sgMail = require("sendgrid").SendGrid(conf);
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID);

const msg = {
  to: "[email protected]", // Change to your recipient
  from: "[email protected]", // Change to your verified sender
  subject: "Sending with SendGrid is Fun",
  text: "and easy to do anywhere, even with Node.js",
  html: "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with Node.js</strong>",
};

sgMail
  .send(msg)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Email sent");
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail')
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY)

Here is a link to actual doc: https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/quickstart-nodejs/#complete-code-block

Update On Using The Environment Variable

First create .env file something like sendgrid.env. Then you can use require('dotenv').config(sendgrid.env) or maybe, just require('dotenv').config(sendgrid)

Then you can use SENDGRID_API_KEY defined in that env file At least this can be done according to my understanding to your question.
