Terminal not recognizing ESLint as a command

2017 MacBook 12", macOS Sierra 10.12.6

• ESLint Version: 4.19.1
• Node Version: 10.4.1
• npm Version: 6.1.0

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

Default

Please show your full configuration:

No config. Issues at install.

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue, as well as the command that you used to run ESLint.

No source.

eslint --init

What did you expect to happen? ESLint should have made a local configuration.

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

-bash: eslint: command not found

This is the weird part. ESLint shows that it’s fully installed and up and running:

[Info  - 12:27:03] ESLint server is running.
[Info  - 12:27:04] ESLint library loaded from: /fakepath/node_modules/eslint/lib/api.js
[Warn  - 12:27:04] 
No ESLint configuration (e.g .eslintrc) found for file: /fakepath/index.js
File will not be validated. Consider running 'eslint --init' in the workspace folder Workspace
Alternatively you can disable ESLint by executing the 'Disable ESLint' command.

You can run commands in node_modules using npx:

npx eslint --init

Hmm. npm install --save eslint would have made the binary available only under ./node_modules/.bin/eslint (relative to your project root), so eslint shouldn’t have worked. But a global install should have made it work.

Can you run ESLint on the command line? If so, the problem is with your VSCode configuration…
