error when eslint --init

See original GitHub issue

I have trouble when I try to generate a eslint config by run eslint --init on v2.10.2.my system is os10.11.4.And the problem happen when i select ‘Use a popular style guide’,if i select ‘Answer questions about your style’,it will work , it will generate a config for me.

eslint --init ? How would you like to configure ESLint? Use a popular style guide ? Which style guide do you want to follow? AirBnB ? What format do you want your config file to be in? YAML

and there is the error info:

Wondering if this is the same as #6257. @wenjoy Can you please provide your package.json here and/or run it through jsonlint.com?

Closing as duplicate of #6257. (Actually this one came first, but #6257 has more information in it.) @wenjoy Please follow #6257 in order to know when this is resolved. Thanks!
