> Due to changes in the upstream, the original Atom and its repositories will be archived on December 15, 2022. If you'd like to learn more about the official Atom archiving, you can read about it in their [official announcement](https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/).
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron), and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.
If you want to read about using Atom or developing packages in Atom, the [Atom Flight Manual](https://flight-manual.atom.io) is free and available online. You can find the source to the manual in [atom/flight-manual.atom.io](https://github.com/atom/flight-manual.atom.io).
Currently, to get binaries based on code by the Atom community, binaries can be downloaded from the [Azure Pipeline](https://dev.azure.com/atomcommunity/atomcommunity/_build?definitionId=10&_a=summary). From this pipeline, the latest run can be selected. From there, the `8 published` link should be selected to download the files.
