Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on [atom-shell ](http://github.com/atom/atom-shell ), and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.

#### Uninstalling Chocolatey Version

exists.
To switch from Chocolatey to the new installer:
2014-12-10 03:40:53 +03:00
* Upgrade to Atom 0.155 or above by running `cup Atom`
2014-12-10 03:37:54 +03:00
* Run `cuninst Atom` to uninstall the Chocolatey version of Atom
2014-12-10 04:43:01 +03:00
* This will not delete any of your installed packages or Atom config files.
2014-12-10 03:37:54 +03:00
* Download the latest [AtomSetup.exe installer ](https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest ).
