Installed Alpine but getting this error:-Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[Rhytham3008]

I have installed Alpinejs using npm install alpinejs and then wrote this in the script tag of my index.html file
import Alpine from 'alpinejs'; window.Alpine=Alpine; Alpine.start();
but I am getting this error:- Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

How to get rid of this error?

That is not the official way to import Alpine in a web page.

If you want to get the script from remote, you should use the cdn link (<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>), if you want to build your own script library with alpine bundled in, you can use the import syntax in your js file but you need to build the file using a tool like rollup, esbuild, webpack, etc.

Theoretically, you can use import on a browser, but as the error says, you need to add type="module" to your script tag (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules#applying_the_module_to_your_html).
In that case, you need to tell the browser the exact location of the script though.
You either use a fully qualified url https://etcetc pointing to the module version (not sure if it exists) or you add the module version to your project and you use a relative path to your website.
For example, assuming your file is in /js/modules, you would have:

    <script type="module">
        import Alpine from '/js/modules/alpine.js'
        window.Alpine = Alpine
        Alpine.start()

        etc etc
    </script>

Also, you should define your data function before you start Alpine.

I want to use alpine offline how to do so, just tell me this?

I'm not totally sure what you mean for offline. Are you the guy who asked about using Alpine in an electron app in discord? I'm not an electron developer but i assume you can copy the compiled alpine file (from the cdn link i posted above) into your project and just include it as a normal js resource.
There could be a better way but, not being an electron developer, i honesty don't know. Maybe have a look at their documentation.
