I'm getting the an error on terminal while trying to compile the code, but I don't understand why.

Code:

const express = require("express");

const app = express();

console.dir(app);

Error:

package.json:

{
  "name": "firstapp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.18.1",
    "npm": "^8.15.0"
  }
}
