If you're not importing it as a module but just including it through a `<script>` tag, you can't use the regular file. You'll need to use the UMD file instead. You can either include it from a CDN (`https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/4.4.0/chart.umd.js`), or download that file, rehost it, and include it in a `<script>` tag. Then you can just call `new Chart()` in a subsequently loaded script. This version of Chart.js has extra code at the beginning to detect how it's being loaded and to run appropriately.
