Running npm script ` "lint": "standard"` from `linting` folder doesn't find standard in ../node_modules/bin

[QuantumInformation]

Just gives me:

➜  linting git:(master) ✗ npm run standard
npm ERR! Darwin 16.4.0
npm ERR! argv "/Users/nikos/.nvm/versions/node/v7.8.0/bin/node" "/Users/nikos/.nvm/versions/node/v7.8.0/bin/npm" "run" "standard"

npm ERR! npm  v4.2.0

npm ERR! missing script: standard

missing script: standard is an error from npm.
It means the script named standard has not been defined in package.json.

Can you check package.json to see if its defined?

[QuantumInformation]

standard is defined in the parent package.json. I am wanting to avoid running npm i in the current dir.

[QuantumInformation]

Adding standard as a dep also doesn't work

[LinusU]

You have defined a script called lint, if you run npm run lint instead of npm run standard it should work

[QuantumInformation]

npm run lint

standard

sh: standard: command not found

[LinusU]

Have you run npm install?

[QuantumInformation]

Only in the parent dir, wanting to avoid the user running npm i, in the local dir.

Just want one standard install at the route of the project.

[LinusU]

Aha, npm only appends ./node_modules/.bin/ to the PATH but since your binaries are placed at a directory higher that wont work... I think that you'll have to hardcode the path in the script, "lint": "../node_modules/.bin/standard" or install standard globally (npm install -g standard)

Yep, @LinusU is correct! I'll close this now, as it's not an issue with standard.
