Cpplint could not find executable

Question

I am trying to activate cpplint within vs code. I have installed it in Anacanda environment where executable

/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin/cpplint

I have a link to it

ls -l /home/ubuntu/anaconda3/bin/cpplint

Unfortunately per visual code cpplint extension still getting error of "Cpplint could not find executable"

Please, advice to configure it correctly.

Answer 1

Download and install

sudo apt-get install python-pip pip install --user cpplint

Verify install result

ls -l /usr/local/bin/cpplint

If you still have issues check cpplint.cpplintPath and verify the execution path is set correctly.

Also, if you installed cpplint into ~/.local/ directories, by default ~/.local/bin is not included in PATH. So to fix just that add:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/ to your ~/.bashrc
