Sublime [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'node'

On sublime text I'm getting following error while trying to validate JS.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'node'
[cmd: ['node', '/Users/gurpreetsingh/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/JSLint/linter.js', '--sloppy', '--indent', '2', '--node', '--nomen', '--vars', '--plusplus', '--stupid', '--todo', '/Users/gurpreetsingh/Documents/dev/aimia/infrastructure/endeavour-callcentre/endeavour-callcentre-web/src/main/webapp/js/modules/membervalidation.js']]

Sublime can't find node, because as its path listing shows, it's not looking in /usr/local/bin. You need to modify the settings to point to /usr/local/bin/node, not just node, and you'll be all set.

Where do I need to change these settings? – RuntimeException Aug 02 '13 at 12:59
which sublime-jslint plugin are you using? There are two. – MattDMo Aug 02 '13 at 13:00
Not sure, how can I find out? – RuntimeException Aug 02 '13 at 13:09

Open Package Control with cmd+shift+p, then type `PCL` to get to "Package Control: List Packages". Hit enter, then type in `jslint`. The package name (in large letters, at the top) should either be "JSLint" or "sublime-jslint" – MattDMo Aug 02 '13 at 13:14
It's JSlint, +1 for trying to help me. – RuntimeException Aug 02 '13 at 13:21

No problem. Open `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/JSLint/JSLint.sublime-build` and add `/usr/local/bin/` to the `node` command on line 3. Save the file, and you should be all set. – MattDMo Aug 02 '13 at 13:25
No JSlint in packages I afraid :( – RuntimeException Aug 02 '13 at 13:41

I was able to get node working by downloading and installing node at (nodejs.org), then modifying the Sublime Text 2 build system using this:

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/node", "$file", "$file_base_name"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
    "selector": "*.js"
}

Go to:

Preferences > Package Settings > JSLint > Advanced Build Settings

Then set the node path as you have it installed. If you don't know, just type "which node" in the terminal to find out the correct path.

You need to tell JSLint package where your node is. Take Sublime Text 2 on Mac OS X for example, you need to open file /Users/shawnzhu/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/JSLint/JSLint.sublime-build and update the first element of the array value of the key cmd like this:

"/usr/local/bin/node"

Then save this file and re-run your Sublime text

Just for reference, If you are using Sublime Text 2, there are multiple ways to fix this problem:

You can see the last paragraph in the official documentation.
You can manually hack it by following these instructions (if the first method didn't work):
```
vim ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/JSLint/JSLint.py
```
then in line 16 you can see the path variable like this:
```
if os.name == "posix":
    path = "/usr/local/bin:" + os.environ['PATH']
else:
```
prepend your path to the first string. e.g. if you are using macports to install your node:
```
path = "/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:" + os.environ['PATH']
```

Don't forget to remove

rm ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/JSLint/JSLint.pyc

that is in the same directory.

you prepend the same string `/opt/local/bin` OR do we need to prepend nodejs path `/usr/bin/nodejs` – xkeshav Dec 01 '14 at 10:43
