When "prettier" is in a package.json but not installed it fails

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce:

~/tmp/sampleproject

npm WARN package.json sampleproject@1.0.0 No description
npm WARN package.json sampleproject@1.0.0 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json sampleproject@1.0.0 No README data
prettier@1.14.2 node_modules/prettier

~/tmp/sampleproject
▶ ./node_modules/.bin/prettier --version
1.14.2

~/tmp/sampleproject
▶ rm -fr node_modules

~/tmp/sampleproject                                                                                                                                                                                               
▶ mkdir src

I have forked this repo and added a work around that makes it so if it can’t find a local prettier, it will use whatever prettier you have globally installed: https://github.com/anisjonischkeit/prettier-vscode/releases
