Cannot install with ESLint 4

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

The README > Install and configure for eslint-plugin-mocha@10.4.3 says:

This plugin requires ESLint 4.0.0 or later.

however attempting to install with ESLint 4.0.0 fails with:

npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer eslint@">=7.0.0" from eslint-plugin-mocha@10.4.3

Steps to reproduce

On Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS with Node.js 20.12.2 LTS

mkdir eslint-plugin-mocha-test
cd eslint-plugin-mocha-test
git init
npm init -y
npm install eslint@4.0.0 eslint-plugin-mocha@10 -D

Note the error

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

Suggestion

• PR ESLint 7 #247 in May 2020 updated peerDependencies from
  eslint >=4.0.0 to
  eslint >=7.0.0
  so it would make sense to update the README accordingly.

Suggest to update the README > Install and configure section to say:

This plugin requires ESLint 7.0.0 or later.

Good catch, thank you. Since the breaking change was announced via the release notes, I think we are good and just need to update the README, as you suggested.

Yes, I see this under the release notes for 7.0.0. Thanks for pointing that out.
