Seems like the issue here was a lack of documentation. Almost every npm package worth their salt details the various ways to get started with something along these lines:

- In the Browser:

  - Using Parcel/Webpack/Rollup.js...etc

  - From a CDN

- In Node:

  - Using CommonJS

    - `const funcName = require('somePackage')`

  - Using Native ES Modules
    
    ...etc
