Fallback to yarn when npm isn't installed

See original GitHub issue
  • ESLint Version: 4.0.0
  • Node Version: v7.10.0
  • npm Version: None! Due to some issues with npm, I’m testing a yarn-only development flow.

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

yarn add --dev eslint
./node_modules/.bin/eslint --init

What did you expect to happen? It would be great if eslint didn’t rely on npm to be installed, and ran yarn if npm was not found.

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

$ node_modules/.bin/eslint --init

I think it might be easiest to just assume that npm is present, and print a useful error message if it’s not. Given that npm is bundled with node, I suspect it’s quite rare for users to not have npm installed. So we could do everything else, and then tell the user in an error message that “to finish the setup, you need to install these packages somehow.”
