Matthieu Baerts d6f43f1858 🐧 .desktop file without capital letter
The .desktop file of Atom was named Atom.desktop but it should be
renamed to atom.desktop because a .desktop should not contain capital
letters as any other .desktop files in /usr/share/applications.

Note that without that, it can be not easy to link the window with the
.desktop file and then a dock/panel could not link a launcher with its
window.

Atom

Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on 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.

Visit atom.io to learn more.

Installing

Mac OS X

Download the latest Atom release.

Atom will automatically update when a new release is available.

Install the Atom chocolatey package.

  3. Run cinst Atom
  4. In the future run cup Atom to upgrade to the latest release.

You can also download a .zip file from the releases page. The Windows version does not currently automatically update so you will need to manually upgrade to future releases by re-downloading the .zip file.

  2. Run sudo dpkg --install atom-amd64.deb on the downloaded package.
