Eslint-plugin-import: Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-airbnb/base' from '/usr/lib/node_modules'

[segmentationfaulter]

I am using vim's syntactic plugin, the plugin was not working with airbnb's .eslintrc, to investigate the issue I tried linting my file from command line by issuing the command $ eslint app.js, it gave the error mentioned in the subject. I am pasting the stack trace here

I have a coworker who has had to do some gymnastics to get syntactic working as well.
I suspect one or both of eslint and the plugin are not in the same package area.
npm -g list | grep eslint vs cd /home/saqib/blog && npm list | grep eslint?

I am encountering this problem.How did you solve it?@segmentationfaulter

@xl-y still could not solve it.

I think you probably need to globally install any ESLint plugins.

Try running npm install -g eslint-config-airbnb in a terminal.
