SvelteKit won't start due to "SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module"

[zicho]

I am trying to start up a new SvelteKit project using the tutorial found on https://svelte.dev/blog/sveltekit-beta

After install, it gives the following message after running "npm run dev -- --open"

path\to\project\node_modules\@sveltejs\kit\svelte-kit.js:2
import './dist/cli.js';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I have tried with different settings, such as turning TypeScript, ESLint and prettier off and on, but it doesnt seem to change anything, I still get the same issue.

Which node version are you using? You need at least 12.

Confirmed working after node update

Had the same issue using node 12.14.1, updated to 15.12.0 and confirmed working.
