As others have pointed out, GitHub has been ”sunsetting Atom”. However, there are other ways to install packages in your existing Atom installation.
Example
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide-terminal ~/.atom/packages/platformio-ide-terminal
# Change directory to the cloned package
cd ~/.atom/packages/platformio-ide-terminal
# Install dependencies
apm install
If you don’t use git, you can simply download the package as zip-file and extract it to the same directory as used in the example above.
Note that some packages might require an additional build step. Take a look at the scripts
section of package.json
if it includes one or more build commands.
Atom Forks
There are currently two major forks of Atom, Pulsar and Atom Community, in different development stages. The former already supports installing packages within the and provides a full replacement for apm
.
