@sviera91 and @ustrahlendorf have you installed cfn-lint from pip? https://pypi.org/project/cfn-lint/

There is a setting to configure the path to cfn-lint if its installed in a location that isn’t included by your PATH environment variable.

Mostly looking at this line your output. /bin/sh: cfn-lint: command not found

@kddejong Yeah same here. I just switched laptops and while I installed the extension forgot to install the library through pip. My bad 😛 Thanks for the help!
