ts-node --esm myscript.ts produces the following error:

TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /path/to/my/script.ts
    at Object.getFileProtocolModuleFormat [as file:] (node:internal/modules/esm/get_format:160:9)

    at async MessagePort.handleMessage (node:internal/modules/esm/worker:196:18) {

What should I do?

Instead of using ts-node --esm myscript.ts, Use

node --loader ts-node/esm myscript.ts
