when I'm trying to install eslint-config-airbnb with npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-airbnb I'm getting following error (--legacy-peer-deps flag doesn't help):

Can you show your package.json (or at least the dependencies and devDependencies) and also indicate what version of npx you are using? - Trott
@Trott sure, I'm sorry - package.json: pastebin.com/SD5CxRQA - Paweł
Thanks. And what's the output of npx --version? - Trott
$ npx --version 7.0.8 - Paweł

Run npm install --legacy-peer-deps and they will install successfully.

Looking at your package.json and comparing it to the peer dependencies listed for eslint-config-airbnb, you already have all the peer dependencies in your package.json as dev dependencies. (They were probably added there when you ran the npx install-peerdeps command but then that command tried to run npm install and failed.)
