How to install good ol' Sublime linter in Sublime Text 3

Qucik tip:

  1. Install SublimeLinter package (from Sublime package control, if you don't have one: click here)
  2. Install newest Node.js (from here)
  3. Using node package manger (npm) install jshint:
    sudo npm install -g jshint

  4. Install SublimeLinter-jshint package in Sublime (also through Sublime Package Control)

  5. Click ctrl+shift+p (or cmd+shift+p on mac) and write: sublimelinter settings user and open preferences.
    And paste there the following content (if you want errors on saving):

    "show_errors_on_save": true
}

Thats all! You have now your SublimeLinter3 enabled and working.

Thanks! It wasn't working for me at first. When checking the console I was getting the error
bash /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
To quote a similar problem at https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/1230
"The fix was to make it look for 'nodejs' rather than 'node' by editing the first line of /usr/local/lib/node_modules/jshint/bin/jshint"
It worked for me!
