npm jshint installation and working by Grunt & nodejs

I got node.js installed on Windows with npm package.
I have a project in D drive as D:>projectD
I am trying to run jshint along with SASS,concat,etc. All are working fine, but getting error on jshint as:

Local npm module "jshint" not found.Is it installed?
Warning: Task 'jshint' not found. Use --force to continue.

For installation of jshint used the following commands:

npm install -g jshint
D:>projectD>npm install --save-dev jshint

Gruntfile.js

jshint:{
 all: ['<%= meta.srcPath %>engine/js/myjs1.js']
},

//plugin declaration
grunt.loadNpmTasks('jshint');

// Default task
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat','sass','jshint']);

Package.json

{
  "name": "Test-Project",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.1",
    "grunt-contrib-concat": "~0.1.3",
    "grunt-sass": "^1.0.0",
    "jshint": "^2.8.0"
  }
}

Can someone help me out why I am not able to work with jshint along with other tasks in grunt?

Actually your Gruntfile is wrong. You want to configurate Grunt. Therefore you need to init the configuration by using grunt.initConfig

So in your case

grunt.initConfig({
  jshint: {
    all: ['<%= meta.srcPath %>engine/js/myjs1.js']
  }
});

And I believe that the module is the grunt-contrib-jshint module which you need. So your loadNpmTask would be grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint'); And your registerTask only needs to contain jshint since you do only load and configurate jshint.

You are missing the module.exports = function(grunt) { }. You need to export your configuration as a function.

All in all your configuration should look like the following

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.initConfig({
    jshint: {
        all: ['<%= meta.srcPath %>engine/js/myjs1.js']
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');

  grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);

};
