Welcome to the forum.

I would guess that ‘pexels’ library (a file) is not in the same folder as your javascript file is. Import statement as is requires it. [import - JavaScript | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import) for example tells you a bit more about imports and has some examples too.
