[Installment Support Request] Deployment fails with `import statement syntax error` on Windows 10

[wu1ah3y]

Hi devs,

Thanks for this great project, and I am trying to deploy the project on my PC, following the instruction in readme file. However, there's something wrong when running the backend server.
And here's the environment versions:

• OS: Windows 10
• Node.js: v20.16.0
• npm: v10.8.1
  I followed the setup instructions in the README by running npm install, configure the .env file and then npm run dev in the backend directory. But there's a SyntaxError occurred, here's the bash console log below:

And I expected there may be some environment problem caused by node version, so I check gemini and try some method such as switch mode to ES module, modify dev script for enabling .ts file, modify tsconfig module to ESnext, however which always tends to causing further problems and eventually guide me to modifying function definitions in source code.

Therefore, I don't think I can handle this issue on my own, and thank you for looking into this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to provide any additional information you need.
