Atom linter does not work

Question

I am trying to install atom linter following this steps:

apm install linter

Then install this packages:

apm install linter-jshint
apm install linter-eslint

But I can't see the warning and the errors when I am using the editor. What am I missing?

Answer 1

At the bottom right of the application you should read Javascript. If it says "Plain text" click and select "Javascript". Then try to modify/save and it should work.

The linter just triggers if it's a javascript file.
