SublimeLinter: WARNING: jshint deactivated, cannot locate 'jshint' - sublimetext3

Question

This just happened completely randomly. All I did was restart Sublime and next I know I had to re-set the path to git.exe and SublimeLinter jshint is broken. I've removed and re-installed SublimeLinter and SublimLinter-jshint in various orders to try to fix it.
I also installed jshint globally with npm.

Answer 1

According to the SublimeLinter documentation, it requires you to have linter executables in your path.
Most linter plugins require you to install a linter binary or library
and configure your PATH so that SublimeLinter can find it. You must
follow the linter plugin’s installation instructions to successfully
use it.
Have you tried opening a terminal window and seeing what happens if you type jshint --version? You should see something like jshint v2.5.0 as a response if it's already in your path.

Answer 2

Also, if you're like me, and can't modify your Windows PATH variables due to workplace restrictions, you can add the path to the Default and User settings like I did here Comment on SublimeLinter. This worked for Sublime 3 build 3065.
