Using Remote SSH extension (ms-vscode-remote): [cfn-lint] Unable to start cfn-lint (Error: spawn /bin/sh ENOENT). Is cfn-lint installed correctly?

[ErikOAWS]

version & path

While connected to remote SSH host:

$ which cfn-lint
/home/<USER>/.local/bin/cfn-lint

$ /home/<USER>/.local/bin/cfn-lint --version
cfn-lint 0.54.4

$ cfn-lint --version
cfn-lint 0.54.4

$ cat ~/.bashrc | egrep PATH
export PATH=/home/<USER>/.local/bin:$PATH

vscode general: settings.json

With vscode-fn-lint 0.2.2 version
But when I load a CloudFormation script into VSCode, I get the following error:
[cfn-lint] Unable to start cfn-lint (Error: spawn /bin/sh ENOENT). Is cfn-lint installed correctly?

vscode extension: @ext:ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh,ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit

    "cfnLint.path": "/home/<USER>/.local/bin/cfn-lint ",

All recommendations mentioned here have been followed with no resolution: #21

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
