eslint-config-standard@5.3.1 wants eslint@^2.0.0-rc.0

Just tried to install eslint for the first time following the readme and I got the following errors with eslint --init choosing the standard config.

What version of ESLint are you using? 3.0.1

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using? default I assume?

Please show your full configuration:

{
    "extends": "standard",
    "plugins": [
        "standard"
    ]
}

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue. There actually wasn’t a ‘npm-debug.log’ file in directory in spite of what the error message indicated.

What did you expect to happen? Successful --init

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

$ npm install --save-dev eslint

That might not be a bad idea to add --dry-run first, and at least show clear messaging about why we can’t install something.

@nzakas Sorry, you are right, I didn’t notice the Google range syntax. I verified it works with 3.4.0.
