MDK xlsx package doesn't work | Deploy Error

Hello experts,
I'm trying to deploy an already created app that has been working for the last months.
Everytime we deploy it, we needed to install the xlsx library through "npm install xlsx" in the console.
Whenever I try to deploy now, this error pops up:

ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/extbin/generators/lib/node_modules/xlsx' in '/home/user/build.definitions/ZFSA_INT/Rules/CrearP',ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/extbin/generators/lib/node_modules/xlsx' in '/home/user/build.definitions/ZFSA_INT/Rules/Test'
undefined

xlsx is installed correctly:

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks

The code to use the library:


import * as XLSX from  "/extbin/generators/lib/node_modules/xlsx";

The answer was to change the call to initialize the library, as stated in the library web:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/xlsx

Using var XLSX = requiere("xlsx") fixed the problem.
