 Your code will now run with all loaders specified in the configuration file, merged into a single loader. When multiple loaders specify the same loader hook (such as `resolve`), they will be called sequentially until one of them returns a non-default value. The order in which they are called is the same order specified in the configuration file.

 By default, node-loader core looks for a configuration file called `node-loader.config.js` in the current working directory. To specify the file path to the configuration file, provide the `NODE_LOADER_CONFIG` environment variable:
 
 ```sh
-NODE_LOADER_CONFIG=/Users/name/some/dir/node-loader.config.js --experimental-loader @node-loader/core file.js
+NODE_LOADER_CONFIG=/Users/name/some/dir/node-loader.config.js node --import "data:text/javascript,import {register} from 'node:module'; import {pathToFileURL} from 'node:url'; register('@node-loader/core', pathToFileURL('./'))" file.js
 ```
 
 Within the file, only the `loaders` property is currently respected. In the future, additional configuration options may be defined.
