> 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/).

[![Build Status](https://dev.azure.com/atomcommunity/atomcommunity/_apis/build/status/atom-community/Release%20Branch%20Build?branchName=master)](https://dev.azure.com/atomcommunity/atomcommunity/_build/latest?definitionId=10&branchName=master)

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.

## Documentation

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).

The [API reference](https://atom.io/docs/api) for developing packages is also documented on Atom.io.

## Installing
<!-- ### Prerequisites
- [Git](https://git-scm.com)

### macOS

Download the latest [Atom release](https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest).

Atom will automatically update when a new release is available.

### Windows

Download the latest [Atom installer](https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest). `AtomSetup.exe` is 32-bit. For 64-bit systems, download `AtomSetup-x64.exe`.

Atom will automatically update when a new release is available.

You can also download `atom-windows.zip` (32-bit) or `atom-x64-windows.zip` (64-bit) from the [releases page](https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest).
The `.zip` version will not automatically update.

Using [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org)? Run `cinst Atom` to install the latest version of Atom.

### Linux

Atom is only available for 64-bit Linux systems.

Configure your distribution's package manager to install and update Atom by following the [Linux installation instructions](https://flight-manual.atom.io/getting-started/sections/installing-atom/#platform-linux) in the Flight Manual.  You will also find instructions on how to install Atom's official Linux packages without using a package repository, though you will not get automatic updates after installing Atom this way.

#### Archive extraction

An archive is available for people who don't want to install `atom` as root.

This version enables you to install multiple Atom versions in parallel. It has been built on Ubuntu 64-bit,
but should be compatible with other Linux distributions.

1. Install dependencies (on Ubuntu):
```sh
sudo apt install git libasound2 libcurl4 libgbm1 libgcrypt20 libgtk-3-0 libnotify4 libnss3 libglib2.0-bin xdg-utils libx11-xcb1 libxcb-dri3-0 libxss1 libxtst6 libxkbfile1
```
2. Download `atom-amd64.tar.gz` from the [Atom releases page](https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest).
3. Run `tar xf atom-amd64.tar.gz` in the directory where you want to extract the Atom folder.
4. Launch Atom using the installed `atom` command from the newly extracted directory.

The Linux version does not currently automatically update so you will need to
repeat these steps to upgrade to future releases. -->
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/latest?definitionId=10&branchName=master). From this pipeline, the latest run can be selected. From there, the `8 published` link should be selected to download the files.
