WebdriverIO Chromedriver service fails after installation

I am a beginner for webdriverIO. I have started with TestRunner with the help of web driver IO docs. I installed node and get expected a response for this command

./node_modules/.bin/wdio --help

I defined configuration using 

 ./node_modules/.bin/wdio config

But when I am running 

./node_modules/.bin/wdio wdio.conf.js

it is giving me following error

Error: Couldn't initialise launcher from service "chromedriver".

I've had this issue before. It comes down to wdio-chromedriver-service not installing chromedriver as a dependency.

To fix this issue, simply run: npm i chromedriver --save-dev
