eslint-config-airbnb error

I’ve added "extends": "eslint-config-airbnb" to an empty .eslintrc file and when I run eslint app I get the following error. If I remove the extends and paste in the node_modules .eslint contents, it works fine. Any ideas? I ran npm install several times

Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-airbnb'

ah, you’re right, i see it there. However, when you run eslint app you’re not running the locally installed version of eslint - the local one should only be run under an npm run-script, which effectively adds node_modules/.bin to the PATH for you. Try ./node_modules/.bin/eslint app to confirm?

You still have to manually add the package to your package.json - try npm install --save eslint-config-airbnb
