Installing ESLint locally doesn't work

If I install ESLint globally I can use it, but if I uninstall the global ESLint and install it only inside the project folder with:

npm install eslint --save-dev

And then run eslint -v, it says command not found.

Do I need to install ESLint also globally if I want to use it only in my project?

for me it works with npx. so, commands will be something below (may be it will work for you with npm)

npx eslint --fix
npx eslint . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx
npx eslint --fix . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx

To use it locally, ensure you have eslint installed:

npm install --save-dev eslint

The in your project folder run:

./node_modules/.bin/eslint --init

Installing it locally will install it under the node_modules directory, which will not be in the PATH your system searches for executables.

Run it with npx, which is distributed with recent versions of npm.

npx eslint -v

You only installed it locally, so you can only run it via ./node_modules/.bin/eslint -v. To install it globally do it like this: npm install --global esint --save-dev. Maybe you need sudo/root rights.
