Using a specific Solidity version

[amitkot]

I'm using Solidity 0.4.18, by defining:

pragma solidity 0.4.18;

and getting the following error for this line in Atom linter:

Source file requires different compiler version (current compiler is 0.4.24+commit.e67f0147.Emscripten.clang - note that nightly builds are considered to be strictly less than the released version

Can linter-solidity check using the solidity compiler version I am using and not give this error?
If not, can I define the specific version of solidity I want to use per project for linter-solidity?
