install acebase-server

hi

I'm trying to install acebase-server on a hosting from cpanel.

I follow the steps:
create a domain
in the domain folder I run npm install acebase-server
cd node_modules/acebase-server
npm run test

and gives the following error:

acebase-server@1.18.0 test /home/programa/aplicaciones/acebase/node_modules/acebase-server
set NODE_ENV=development && npm run start

acebase-server@1.18.0 start /home/programa/aplicaciones/acebase/node_modules/acebase-server
node dist/esm/start.js DBNAME=default DBPATH=. HOST=localhost PORT=3000 TXLOG=1 AUTH=1

/home/programa/aplicaciones/acebase/node_modules/acebase-server/dist/esm/start.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import { AceBaseServer } from './server.js';
^^^^^^

what am I doing wrong?
And then how do I continue?

To run an AceBase server using the ES Modules build, you need at least Node.js 14. If you are using an older version (but at least 10.4), you can start it using the CommonJS build with node dist/cjs/start.js ...
