Javascript – TypeError when trying to import OrbitControls. What do I do?

I get this error when trying to import the OrbitControls

JS:

import { OrbitControls } from 'three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls'
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(1, 1, 1);
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({color: 0x00ff00});
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
const controls = new OrbitControls(camera, renderer.domElement);

renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);

scene.add(cube);

camera.position.set(0, 20, 100);
camera.position.z = 5;

renderer.render(scene, camera);

controls.update();

function animate(){
    requestAnimationFrame(animate);

    controls.update();

    renderer.render(scene, camera);
}

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Document</title>
        <style>
            body { margin: 0; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/three.js/r128/three.min.js" ></script>
        <script type="module" src="task9.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

I’ve tried to use different imports;
import { OrbitControls } from ‘three/addons/controls/OrbitControls.js’;
and
import { OrbitControls } from ‘https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls.js’;
None of them work

    import OrbitControls from ‘../three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls’

    Try this it may solve your problem.

    The error you get says that the path to OrbitControls has to be absolute and not relative. Here are the differences. In a nutshell – you just have to replace the path to OrbitControls with ‘./three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls’ or ‘/home/&USER/path/to/OrbitControls’.
