Atom is editor for 21st century. Created by Github with love, Atom is modular, advanced, hackable editor for programmers. We all know Editor play’s very important to keep developer like you productive.
Thanks to webupd8.org for providing respistory.
Atom Editor is in Apha mode. It’s not for Public use but if you love to explore it, you can. Visit the official site here to download the Atom editor for Windows and Mac. However for Linux user it’s bit different.
To download and install Atom in Ubuntu 14.04 ( the version i am using ) you have to type following command one by one in your terminal.
Step 1 : Add repository:
Press Enter if it ask your permission.
Step 2 : Update the Repository
It will take some time. Be patient.
Step 3 : Install Atom.
It will download and install the Atom editor on your Ubuntu 14.04. Here is screen shot of Atom running in Ubuntu.
Thanks.
Needs some more tweaking for the above instructions to work:
[email protected]:~$ sudo apt-get install atom
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atom : Depends: gconf2
Depends: gconf-service
Depends: libgnome-keyring0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnotify4 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxtst6 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnss3 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gvfs-bin
Depends: xdg-utils but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
Please try this command : sudo apt-get -f install
Thanks Dude ! 🙂
what?
Gracias!!
Thanks! works like a charm in 14.04.3 LTS (trusty)
I want to thank you for sharing this tutorial. Now I have an editor on my Ubuntu 15 desktop that I really like, and it doesn’t nag me to buy it like Sublime does !
Yup.
But i am sure sublime deserve the payment for their hard-work.
I recieve the following error. What should I do??
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem.
Try these commands.
sudo rm *
As it says, just manually run ‘sudo dpkg –configure -a’
very good
One liner for code above –
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/atom -y; sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install atom -y; sudo apt-get install -f -y
*Please fix this if I was wrong. I did not responsible for anything happened when you run that code.

Hello Sir, I am using an Ubuntu 16.04.1 on a digital ocean droplet and have installed atom but it will not open
Do you know if it requires some kind of a GUI system? I am only working from the command line.
Any help is appreciated…
Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

Thanks
Hi there,
You, of course, you need a GUI system to access it.
You can open atom using the command line but AFAIK, you need GUI system.
Thanks for share,,,, almost equal to Sublime ya… but this one is enough
Thanks.

Many thanks for the quick and simple guide.
