Issues with eslint usage

[gauntface]

I've pretty much always had trouble with extending eslint configs so this could easily just be me.

When attempting to use this config (either in eslintrc or in package.json I was getting this error:

$ eslint ./src 1 ↵
/home/matt/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/eslint/lib/config/config-file.js:332
throw e;
^

Error: Cannot read config package: eslint-config-google
Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-google'

When I use the gulp task that uses eslint there is no issue. Could it be a problem with attempting to use global eslint?

I think you need to install it globally if you use the global ESLint.

[gauntface]

That would make sense.

@addyosmani worth adding something to the README or just close?

For reference: eslint/eslint#4822 (comment)

I don't think every shareable config should have to document this. It's just how ESLint works and is better documented there. Open an issue on ESLint if you think it could be clearer in its docs.
