As the title states, I’m getting the following error when running `npx create-local-addon`. Looks like I’m having issues with an upstream version of eslint? How should I go about resolving this? Thanks!

I just tried the `npx create-local-addon` and was able to create an addon “Test Addon.”

One thing to note, it looks like it only worked for me on the Node `v14.x` line, 16 and 18 didn’t work.

What version of Node is on your system and do you get a different outcome when switching to v14.x?

Ah, good catch!  
`node --version` returned `v20.5.1`  
so I ran `nvm install 14`  
and now `npx create-local-addon` and it’s just returning a few warnings, but no flat-out errors. Looking good now. Thanks for the help!
