Unable to run demo using nodejs

[PLQin]

have a js file （demo.js) :

const imagemin = require('imagemin');
const imageminOptipng = require('imagemin-optipng');

(async () => {
	await imagemin(['img/*.png'], 'build/img', {
		use: [
			imageminOptipng()
		]
	});

	console.log('Images optimized!');
})();

and package.json ：

{
  "name": "imagemin",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "dependencies": {
    "imagemin": "^8.0.0",
    "imagemin-jpegtran": "^7.0.0",
    "imagemin-optipng": "^8.0.0",
    "imagemin-pngquant": "^9.0.2",
    "jpegtran-bin": "^5.0.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

run demo.js :

node demo.js

result :

C02F93TLMD6M:imagemin PLQin$ node demo.js 
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1080
      throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
      ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /Users/PLQin/Desktop/AtHome/demo/imagemin/node_modules/imagemin/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /Users/PLQin/Desktop/AtHome/demo/imagemin/node_modules/imagemin/index.js from /Users/PLQin/Desktop/AtHome/demo/imagemin/demo.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /Users/PLQin/Desktop/AtHome/demo/imagemin/node_modules/imagemin/package.json.

}

What should I do? I just want to use nodejs to compress my pictures (all the pictures in the directory).

Is there any other tool to recommend?
