Не могу запустить скрипт на js

Код скрипта

const { strict } = require("assert/strict");
const mysql = require("mysql2");
const connection = mysql.createConnection({host: "localhost", user: "user", database: "database", password: "password"});

var sql = 'SELECT * FROM tablename;';
connection.query(sql, function(err, result){
        if (err) console.log(err);
        console.log(result);
});

connection.end;

Это код ошибки

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

Была попытка исправить ошибку вот так npm install assert и npm install assert/strict но результат не изменился

Ну а что говорит "npm install" ? Вообще в таких ситуациях желательно линковать ещё "package.json"

$ npm install assert
