Installing Atom

To get started with Atom, we need to put it in your system. This section explains how to install Atom on your system and how to build it from source code.

Installing Atom is pretty easy. Normally, you can access https: //atom.io and display the following download buttons at the top of the page.

One or more buttons should be specific to your platform and the download package should be easy to install. But let's talk about them in detail here.

Atom stores configuration and state in the .atom directory, which is usually in the home directory. However, you can run Atom in portable mode where applications and configurations are stored on removable storage.

To set Atom in portable mode, download the zip / tar.gz package for your system and extract it to removable storage.

Atom can also save Electron user data in .atom directory - just create a subdirectory called electronUserData in it.

Alternatively, you can set the ATOM_HOME environment variable to the desired location (you can create a. Sh or. Cmd script to setup and start temporarily).

If you prefer this option, it explains how to clone source code and build it in the "Hacking Atomic Cores" section of the flight manual.

If you encounter SSL errors during package installation inside the firewall, you can disable strict SSL by running the following command:

Follow the Linux installation instructions in the flight manual and configure the distribution's package manager to install and update Atom. It also describes how to install Atom's official Linux package without using a package repository, but you can not get automatic updates after installing Atom in this way.

Today I install hackable text editor Atom on Windows 10. Then install and configure the remote-atom package. You can now edit the files stored on the remote Ubuntu server. In these steps, we will use Ubuntu 16 on VirtualBox (remote) and run all on Windows 10 host (local) as described in the previous article.

As part of my Blockchain Stack series, I've been using a basic text editor so far. Atom is highly recommended and is a free open source source code editor with thousands of free plugins. In this article, after installing Atom, install the Solidity language tag plugin used in Ethereum Smart Contract.

Atom is one of my favorite apps, which is getting more and more convenient everyday. Atom is not only a 100% attackable text editor, it is also a unique IDE. Through open source, people create thousands of packages to maximize workflow and create a better work environment. Are you working in Python? No problem. Please install autocomplete-python and complete the sentence. Are you using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript? This is a package. If not, there is an optional package, and you can do it yourself. In addition, Atom looks good and is wonderful.

The first thing I encountered was to set up Atom. Unfortunately, it works out of the box. I have installed and coordinated different packages over the course of a day, but this is a one-time operation and I believe that web developers familiar with all these mumbo jumbos will pass this faster . After that, I performed a static type check at the end by Flow. Static parser was automatically modified by ESLint. And thanks to God's autocomplete and fragments, I know who installed different packages.
