Current behavior

Importing typeorm from nestjs gives errors below.
First time running typeorm to connect to postgres.

Expected behavior

To import and successfully compile like instructed in documentation.
https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/database#async-configuration

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

logs from compiler:

Instead of pulling this package directly from this repo, you should install it via the package manager. Otherwise, you'll have to manually build the package as the repo only contains TS source files - there are no JS files here and so index.{ts,js} re-exports the dist folder which in fact, doesn't even exist.

That make sense. Tried it and it works thanks!
