Instructions for running Exercises are incorrect

[AndreyNikiforov]

I am following instructions for running exercises locally and npm install fails with the following error:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: @mostly-adequate/[email protected]

Steps to repro:

• clone repo
• open vscode with that folder
• use "Reopen in Container" and choose "Node.js & Typescipt" with v18 from the list
• follow instructions from the book

Expected behavior:

• show results of the test run (npm run ch04)

Actual behavior:

• fails at npm install with error above

As a mitigation, upgrade/use "eslint-config-airbnb": "^17.0.0", in exercises/package.json/devDependencies
