How to make Typescript recognize type files

Hi, I am a beginner developing in Typescript. I am trying to create a bot that can use commands using client.commands = new Collection(); based on the guide. https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html#loading-command-files Main file is: 
import {Message, Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits, TextChannel,
} from "discord.js"
import "./@types/client.d.ts"

client.commands = new Collection()
import {Message, Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits, TextChannel,
} from "discord.js"
import "./@types/client.d.ts"

client.commands = new Collection()
I am getting a type error, so I have created a type definition file at /src/@types/client.d.ts. The contents of the file are as follows: 
import { Collection } from 'discord.js';

declare module "discord.js" {
  export interface Client {
    commands: Collection<unknown, any>
  }
}
import { Collection } from 'discord.js';

declare module "discord.js" {
  export interface Client {
    commands: Collection<unknown, any>
  }
}
However, when I run ts-node --files src/main.ts in vscode, I get the following error: 
TypeError: Unable to require file: src/@types/client.d.ts
This is usually the result of a faulty configuration or import. Make sure there is a `.js`, `.json` or other executable extension with loader attached before `ts-node` available.

It may be a problem with tsconfig.json or ts-node, please let me know how to solve it. Sorry if this question has already been asked. npm -v

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers. - Issue solved? Press the button!
