Describe the issue
when I tried to run the setup commands following https://siimple.xyz/getting-started/
I got the following error on "npx siimple -c ./siimple.config.mjs -o ./output.css"
see screenshot.
To reproduce
for me, it just happened after doing the second step.
my npm is 8.19.2
node v16.13.0

What browser(s) are you seeing the problem on?
No response
What version of siimple are you using?
4.3.0(according to package/package-lock)
Additional context
I could "fix" it by reading a bit on https://stackoverflow.com/a/70057245/4769837
where I read Imports can only do file:// and data://.
So I changed where the error came from on siimple/cli/index.js from:
return import(configPath).then(rawConfig => rawConfig.default);
to:
return import("file://" + configPath).then(rawConfig => rawConfig.default);
which fixed it but of course not a great solution.
Hello @pepijnmm.
Instead of concatenating "file://" to the configuration path we can use url.pathToFileURL:
return import(url.pathToFileURL(configPath)).then(rawConfig => rawConfig.default);
As I see in the documentation is the recommended way when using absolute paths with import https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#file-urls.
