Why can't I start eslint?

Question

Linter

As I read in the documentation, to install globally, you need to $ npm install -g eslint
, and then you need to configure the eslint --init configuration file, and so I get an error,
"eslint" is not an internal or external
command, executable program or batch file.
How to set the configuration?

The question was more than a year ago, but anyway - for others:
I also had such an error, but if I sequentially enter "npm install" in the Visual Studio Code terminal, then "npm run lint" (to check linting) or "npm test" (to pass the test), then everything works without problems.
