You may want a linter plugin to lint your code in Vim but you probably don't need it. At least try the built-in way before jumping on the plugin bandwagon.
autocmd FileType <filetype> setlocal makeprg=<external command>
This autocommand tells Vim to use <external command>
when invoking :make %
in a <filetype>
buffer. You can add as many similar lines as needed for other languages.
