Installing eslint prevents devDependencies from being installed

I tried a fresh install on a new npm project and I found out that most of the devDependencies eg shelljs, are not installed after I run “npm install eslint”.

I copied all the dependencies and devDepencies from eslint/package.json into my local package.json and run “npm install” but I got two blockers:

`"eslint-config-eslint": "file:packages/eslint-config-eslint",`
**Could not install from "packages\eslint-config-eslint" as it does not contain a package.json file.**

`"eslint-plugin-internal-rules": "file:tools/internal-rules",`
**Could not install from "tools\internal-rules" as it does not contain a package.json file.**

If I remove these two lines and run again “npm install” all the devDependecies are installed properly so I could find then inside /node_modules Not sure if the problem is related to these two described above but the problem is that eslint does not install devDependencies

Thanks. Looks like C:\Users\frontend\gulp\build.js:16:15 is the cause. (I deleted my previous comment that included another path.)

If you use a package in your code, you must have the package in your package.json.

If you use a package that another package depends on, it will be broken if the “another package” is uninstalled. Such a package is called “extraneous package”. If you want to detect the use of extraneous packages, you can use node/no-extraneous-require or import/no-extraneous-dependencies.

Yes, that was the problem but I wasn’t aware of it as the project is new for me too. I only went to upgrade eslint but I couldn’t realize that in the beginning.
