Difficulty with installing Dimensions proxy (Node.js)

Terraria Server
1

says “Download the latest release and extract it to its own folder”
but i found no releases
so i cloned the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RenderBr/Dimensions.git
i installed nodejs, npm, typescript on my debian linux vps:

apt install nodejs
apt install npm
npm install --global typescript

and tried compiling or running it with:

npm run build
npm run start

but it gives many strange errors

You are downloading from a REALLY old fork
Use this one instead GitHub - popstarfreas/Dimensions: The load-balancing and routing service for Terraria Servers

If possible either file an issue here:

seems the older version/fork (GitHub - RenderBr/Dimensions: The load-balancing and routing service for Terraria Servers) was successfully build. indeed i had forgotten running the npm install… command first
but now i need a complete sample of config.js because i couldn’t find any sample files like config.js.quickstart or config.js.example in those repos even after build
i created a config.js file myself:

"use strict"
exports.ConfigSettings = {
    servers: [
        {
            listenPort: 7777,
            routingServers: [{
                name: "server1",
                serverIP: "127.0.0.1",
                serverPort: 6777,
                hidden: false,
            }]    
        },
        {
            listenPort: 7778,
            routingServers: [{
                name: "server2",
                serverIP: "127.0.0.1",
                serverPort: 6778,
                hidden: false,
            }]    
        },
    ],

but seems it is not enough:

[root@vps_outside(2) ~/Dimensions/Dimensions]# npm run start

> @popstarfreas/[email protected] start
> cd ./build && node ./index.js

/root/Dimensions/Dimensions/config.js:23
