I went through this installation guide and installed eslint locally in my project, but when trying to initalise it, its giving following error, have also tried removing the scrict mode but still the same error, I am new to eslint so please bear with me if I have committed some silly mistake here
node_modules/eslint/lib/cli.js:18
const fs = require("fs"),
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

}));
} else if (init) {

Any help is Appreciated
