I have watched numerous videos on youtube and I just can't figure this out. Can you tell me how to delete any linters I have made by improperly setting it up and get it working with the airbnb configuration / with prettier on my mac?

First, install eslint. Then you probably want to add a plugin to your editor that shows it as you're working in your code. All the popular editors have plugins for this, have a look.

Then you need to set a config for your project, typically through a .eslintrc.js file in the root of your project. There you specify the airbnb config.

Keep in mind, if you do not use JSX you will want the airbnb base config.

This is the part I'm having a hard time with.
