Error integrating ESLint with sublime

Question

I am new to Node.js, npm and sublime environment and I am finding it difficult to integrate ESlint with sublime editor.

The steps which I followed is as follows:

Installed ESLint with command: npm install -g eslint
Installed ESLint with Sublime package control

Now getting following error in Sublime editor:

module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'eslint'

Go to "Preferences / Package Settings / ESLint / Settings - User" in the menu bar, and enter the following (file paths may vary):

{
  "node_path": "/usr/local/bin",
  "node_modules_path": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules"
}

Here's the GitHub page: https://github.com/polygonplanet/sublime-text-eslint. Scroll down to the "Configuring ESLint" section, it's all documented there.

If Jeremy's answer still doesn't help, make sure your npm folder is exposed in your environment variable.

On Windows 7, PATH would include something like:

C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\npm;

(Location: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System\Advanced system settings\Advanced\Environment Variables\User variables...\PATH)

I got ESlint working for me on Sublime Text 3 and Win 7 by editing the file "Preferences -> Package Settings -> ESLint -> Settings - Default" file, inserting an additional 3rd value for the 'Config File' as you can see in the screen-shot below:

Steps to follow for setting up ESlint on Sublime Text 3 with Win 7+

The file code would look like this, if you don't want to see the screen-shot:

{ "node_path": "C:/Program Files/nodejs",
"node_modules_path": "C:/Users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules",
"config_file": "C:/Users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/eslint/node_modules/debug/.eslintrc"}

You can further see which file formats are supported for configuration here: https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring

Not sure, if this issue has been solved in the meanwhile, but there has been a discussion some years ago, about installing eslint globally or locally per project. As far as I understood the discussion, it is recommended to install eslint and eslint plugins locally to avoid the issue.

In order to use Eslint with Sublime, I installed eslint in my project with:

npm install eslint --save-dev

Furthermore I installed SublimeLinter and SublimeLinter-eslint to integrate the Eslint into Sublime and let it run whenever a file is saved.

This error is what npm would throw if it doesn't find the eslint module.

I had the same error and I realized that it was for incorrect node_modules_path, it "$HOME/.npm-global" and I just change that to "$HOME/.npm-global/bin"(+"/bin") and it worked for me.

i encountered that issue installing: npm install -g eslint solved that problem in next way:

get known Eslint version from terminal;
```
eslint -v
```
added a line to dependencies in package.json with that known eslint version
```
"dependencies": {
...
"eslint": "^4.19.1"
}
```
final step : in terminal i updated all written in this package.json
```
npm install
```
