Error: Cannot find module './rustplusplus'

[NoxiousPluK]

Did a fresh installation (installed Node.js 24.x, git clone repo, npm install, set up Discord variables, npm start run)

Run into the following error:

PS D:\rustplusplus> npm start run

> rustplusplus@1.22.0 start
> ts-node . run

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1424
  throw err;
