jsdom virtual console: TypeError: jsdom.createVirtualConsole is not a function - jsdom

Question

In:
const jsdom = require("jsdom");
const initialVirtualConsole = jsdom.createVirtualConsole();
I get:
TypeError: jsdom.createVirtualConsole is not a function

I would like to run the tests for jsdom on my local machine to see how jsdom performs in my local environment.
Could anyone be so good as to guide a noob in running the tests in https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom/tree/master/test ?

Here's what's in my beforeEach() block (I'm using mocha over node.js to test)
import jsdom from 'jsdom'
const virtualConsole = jsdom.createVirtualConsole()
const document = jsdom.jsdom(undefined, {
virtualConsole: virtualConsole.sendTo(console)
})
virtualConsole.on('log', (...args) => {
// do something with `args` sent to logs
// e.g, assign result to a variable and run your assertions over it
})
window = document.defaultView
global.window = window
global.document = document
