Here are the Mac OS instructions updated for Nov. 2012. Assumes you have Homebrew installed in order to get Node.js, and that you've already installed Syntastic for Vim (I use https://github.com/carlhuda/janus which provides this automatically):

$ brew install node.js
$ npm install -g jshint

Then add '/usr/local/share/npm/bin' to your PATH (probably in ~/.bashrc). For example, add the line: export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin"

restart your Terminal and check that

$ jshint

is executable from the command line. Syntastic will discover jsHint automatically. Restart MacVim and enjoy!
