What did you expect to happen?

no error

What actually happened?

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 8.13.0

ESLint couldn't find the plugin "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin".

(The package "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin" was not found when loaded as a Node module from the directory "/home/user".)

It's likely that the plugin isn't installed correctly. Try reinstalling by running the following:

    npm install @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest --save-dev

The plugin "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin" was referenced from the config file in "PersonalConfig".

If you still can't figure out the problem, please stop by https://eslint.org/chat/help to chat with the team.

Additional comments

I'm trying to use the .eslintrc.json in my user home folder.

I install the requested package (both with and without -g) and it still keeps giving the same error.

personal configuration has been deprecated since eslint v7: https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring/configuration-files#personal-configuration-files-deprecated

please use the --config CLI option instead.

It's the same problem using --config

$ eslint . --config ~/.eslintrc.json

maybe need to install @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin in ~/ (to be loadable with the config)?

Isn't that what that does?

If not, how do I do that?

[aladdin-add]

try cd ~ && npm i @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

[beauxq]

try cd ~ && npm i @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

My home directory has to be an npm package in order for it to work? That doesn't seem like a good solution.
Shouldn't it be able to use the global npm install? (npm -g i @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin)

[aladdin-add]

just a workaround, and I agreed it's not ideal. In the early eslint, global-install usage was supported, but it's not well-designed and problematic.

another way is to use the option --resolve-plugins-relative-to.

I run npm list @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin @typescript-eslint/parser and it shows me some versions that are not well synchronized, maybe you could check if the installed version is the same that is being cached for your .eslintrc
