Error: Unable to execute npm get prefix. Please make sure Atom is getting $PATH correctly

Hi,

After today's update I've started getting this message every time I open a JS file:

Error: Unable to execute `npm get prefix`. Please make sure Atom is getting $PATH correctly

Open a terminal and do

npm get prefix

paste the value into settings

[steelbrain]

If you are not using global node and eslint, then uncheck the Use Global ESLint option

[lmartins]

Thank you @steelbrain, the npm get prefix did the trick.

[OKNoah]

This error popped up for me today too.

[Arcanemagus]

Did the comments earlier in the issue resolve it for you @OKNoah, or are you still running into problems?

[thearabbit]

I have the same problem (I use windows 7).

[steelbrain]

@thearabbit You have selected Use global ESLint installation even though you didn't install it globally (presumably), either install it globally or uncheck the config

[thearabbit]

So I need install vai npm or apm.

[steelbrain]

By checking global eslint, you declare that you have eslint and therefore node installed globally, to get the prefix path of your node installation you should do npm get prefix

[thearabbit]

Thanks, Now it don't after I installed node, But show error with module:

[thearabbit]

Sorry it have problem with eslint or any....

[steelbrain]

That is not actually an error but a user misconfiguration, please configure eslint to allow es6+ syntax

[thearabbit]

Could you help me, how to solve?

[steelbrain]

I personally use babel-eslint as my parser, check it out here https://github.com/babel/babel-eslint#setup

[thearabbit]

Now I tried to install babel-eslint, but still problem.

[thearabbit]

npm install -g eslint

apm install language-babel

[steelbrain]

@thearabbit This is a bug report for a completely different thing, I would love to help you but you're asking for help about something very basic of eslint (not related to this Atom package), I would recommend you google some Getting started with ESLint or ask for help in IRC

[thearabbit]

Very thanks for your helping, I will try the best.

[annacollins85]

@steelbrain if you are using global node, but local eslint how should you configure things?

[steelbrain]

@annacollins85 You shouldn't have to configure anything, it should run out of the box in that scenario :)

Also this is a pretty old issue, if you're still having this problem, please open a new issue instead
