Is there an offline version of JSLint for Windows?

Question

I would like to check my JavaScript files without going to JSLint web site.
Is there a desktop version of this tool for Windows?

Answer 1

JSLint Reporter running with Node.js

Easy to keep up to date.

1. Install Node.js.

2. Install jslint-reporter into: C:\jslint-reporter

3. Download JSLint:

   C:\jslint-reporter>node wrapper.js --upgrade
   

4. Test:

   C:\Temp>node C:\jslint-reporter\wrapper.js missing_semicolon.js
   missing_semicolon.js:1:10:Expected ';' and instead saw 'console'.
   missing_semicolon.js:2:1:'console' was used before it was defined.
   

JSLint Node.js package

Easy to set up, but you rely on the package author for keeping the included JSLint up to date:

1. Install Node.js.

2. Using npm, the package manager of Node.js, install JSLint:

   C:\>npm -g install jslint
   

3. Test:

   C:\Temp>jslint missing_semicolon.js
   
   missing_semicolon.js
    #1 Expected ';' and instead saw 'console'.
       var x = 5 // Line 1, Pos 10
   

Other solutions

To run JSLint, you may also use Rhino or any other JavaScript implementation that works on Windows, of course.
