Error: Cannot find module 'obsidian'

What happened?

I’d like to play with the dataview API on external dev env, but right from the start there appears to be a problem with the installation. I did npm install -D obsidian-dataview.
But a simple code like

import { getAPI } from “obsidian-dataview”;
console.log(“test”)

I get the error Error: Cannot find module 'obsidian'. However, the module seems to be installed.
