Question

I got this error having linter-pep8 installed.

Error: spawn pycodestyle ENOENT
at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)

Answer 1

The error is caused by package being renamed from linter-pep8 to linter-pycodestyle v2.0.0

Solution:

1. Uninstall pep8 sudo pip uninstall pep8
2. Uninstall pycodestyle sudo pip uninstall pycodestyle
3. Again installing pycodestyle sudo pip install pycodestyle
4. Uninstall ATOM linter-pep8 package apm uninstall linter-pep8
5. Installing ATOM linter-pycodestyle package apm install linter-pycodestyle
6. Check if pycodestyle was installed correctly by executing which pycodestyle in terminal. It should return path to pycodestyle (eg. /usr/local/bin/pycodestyle). You might set this path in Executable Path setting of atoms' linter-pycodestyle package -but it should work by default
