[No solution worked!] TypeError: ethers.encrypt is not a function @7:44:20

Hey guys, when I run encryptKey.js, it says the encrypt is not a function as shown below:

TypeError: ethers.encrypt is not a function at main (/home/pchen/hardhat/ethers-simple-storage/encryptKey.js:7:41) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pchen/hardhat/ethers-simple-storage/encryptKey.js:13:1) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1226:14) at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1280:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1089:32) at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:930:12) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47

My code snippet is:
`
const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs-extra");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
const encryptedJsonKey = await ethers.encrypt(
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD,
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY
);
}

main()
.then(() => process.exit(0))
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});
`

{ "dependencies": { "dotenv": "^16.0.3", "ethers": "5.7.2", "fs-extra": "^11.1.0", "solc": "0.8.7-fixed" }, "scripts": { "compile": "yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --bath-path . -o . SimpleStorage.sol" } }

Any advice would be much appreciated!

you need to use const { ethers } = require("ethers"); to start, yours is missing the { } outside the word ethers in the first line

It is wallet.encrypt instead on ethers.encrypt.
