How to enable JSHint in SublimeLinter in Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon?
jshint, linux-mint, sublimelinter, sublimetext3
Solution
This seems to make JSHint work - but if anyone could confirm that this is the best approach that would be great:

I've found this is often a misnaming error, if you install from a package manager you bin may be called nodejs so you just need to symlink it like so "ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node"
Note: Using this solution, no adjustments need to be made to paths in `Preferences > Package Settings > SublimeLinter > "Settings - User"`.
Problem
Desired Behaviour Linting of .js files with Sublime Text 3. Actual Behaviour No linting is taking place. For example the following shows no errors: ``` var x = "" ``` Steps To Reproduce Environment - Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon - Sublime Text Build 3065 - `Tools > SublimeLinter > Lint Mode > "Background"` - `Tools > SublimeLinter > Mark Style > "Fill"` In Sublime Text (to install SublimeLinter and JSHint plugin) - ctrl+shift+p - Package Control: Install Package - Install SublimeLinter - Install SublimeLinter jshint plugin At Command Line Install node.js, npm and jshint with: `sudo apt-get install nodejs npm` `sudo npm install -g jshint` Quit and restart Sublime Text. Troubleshooting At Command Line: ``` hash -r which jshint returns /usr/local/bin/jshint ``` I also tried this solution (https://stackoverflow.com/a/21203179/1063287) involving manuualy changing the path in `Preferences > Package Settings > SublimeLinter > "Settings - User"` and restarted Sublime Text but there was no change: ``` "paths": { "linux": ["/usr/local/bin/jshint"], "osx": [], "windows": [] }, ``` Documentation Reference On how to install jshint plugin: https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-jshint UPDATE I just ran this in command line - the results may help to troubleshoot: ``` jshint --version /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory ``` This also comes up in Sublime Text Console: ``` SublimeLinter: WARNING: no jshint version could be extracted from: /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory ```
