Cannot import initializeApp of firebase-admin of on my nodejs/typescript app

Question

I've added firebase-admin v12.0.0 package to my app, here is what I've done so far:

import { initializeApp, credential } from 'firebase-admin';

/*.....*/

initializeApp({
   credential: credential.cert({
      projectId: '...',
      privateKey: '...',
      clientEmail: '...',
   }),
});

and in chrome developer console I have this

chunk-345H5RC3.js?v=d7e643dc:4896 Uncaught TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null
    at node_modules/firebase-admin/lib/utils/api-request.js (chunk-345H5RC3.js?v=d7e643dc:4896:59)

I use node v18.19.1

I expect that firebase-admin initialize correctly

So far I've changed version of node and firebase-admin, deleted node_modules and relaunch npm install

This is what mine looks like with the same installation. I think the issue is the credential: credential.cert?

const config = {
  apiKey: "...",
  authDomain: "...",
  databaseURL: "...",
  projectId: "...",
  storageBucket: "...",
  messagingSenderId: "...",
  appId: "...",
  measurementId: "..."
}

const app = initializeApp(config);
