Build your own text editor with this free open-source editor. Atom describes itself as a hackable text editor, and what it means is that it allows new and intermediate programmers the chance to create their own text editor without years of work or programming experience. It is an open source text editor that has made altering its code even easier than ever. In this video i am demonstrating how to install Atom Editor on Mac Os. 1) Download atom editor from atom website 2) After downloading move your atom editor p.

At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it. You can also try the latest beta for Atom here.
Taking the web native
Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies. Like other desktop apps, it has its own icon in the dock, native menus and dialogs, and full access to the file system.
Open the dev tools, however, and Atom's web-based core shines through. Whether you're tweaking the look of Atom's interface with CSS or adding major features with HTML and JavaScript, it's never been easier to take control of your editor.

Node.js integration
Node.js support makes it trivial to access the file system, spawn subprocesses, and even start servers directly from within your editor. Need a library? Choose from over 50 thousand in Node's package repository. Need to call into C or C++? That's possible, too.
Seamless integration allows you to freely mix usage of Node and browser APIs. Manipulate the file system and write to the DOM, all from a single JavaScript function.
Modular design
Atom is composed of over 50 open-source packages that integrate around a minimal core. Our goal is a deeply extensible system that blurs the distinction between 'user' and 'developer'.
Don't like some part of Atom? Replace it with your own package, then upload it to the central repository on atom.io so everyone else can use it too.
Full-featured, right out of the box
No one wants to waste time configuring their editor before they can start using it. Atom comes loaded with the features you've come to expect from a modern text editor. Here are a few of them:
- File system browser
- Fuzzy finder for quickly opening files
- Fast project-wide search and replace
- Multiple cursors and selections
- Multiple panes
- Snippets
- Code folding
- A clean preferences UI
- Import TextMate grammars and themes

Installing Atom
To get started with Atom, we'll need to get it on your system. This section will go over installing Atom on your system as well as the basics of how to build it from source.
Installing Atom should be fairly simple. Generally, you can go to https://atom.io and you should see a download button as shown here:
The button or buttons should be specific to your platform and the download package should be easily installable. However, let's go over them here in a bit of detail.
Installing Atom on Mac
Atom follows the standard Mac zip installation process. You can either press the download button from the https://atom.io site or you can go to the Atom releases page to download the
atom-mac.zip
file explicitly. Once you have that file, you can click on it to extract the application and then drag the new Atom
application into your 'Applications' folder.When you first open Atom, it will try to install the
atom
and apm
commands for use in the terminal. In some cases, Atom might not be able to install these commands because it needs an administrator password. To check if Atom was able to install the atom
command, for example, open a terminal window and type which atom
. If the atom
command has been installed, you'll see something like this:If the
atom
command wasn't installed, the which
command won't return anything:To install the
atom
and apm
commands, run 'Window: Install Shell Commands' from the Command Palette, which will prompt you for an administrator password.Installing Atom on Windows
Atom is available with Windows installers that can be downloaded from https://atom.io or from the Atom releases page. Use
AtomSetup.exe
for 32-bit systems and AtomSetup-x64.exe
for 64-bit systems. This setup program will install Atom, add the atom
and apm
commands to your PATH
, and create shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu.The context menu
Open with Atom
in File Explorer, and the option to make Atom available for file association using Open with...
, is controlled by the System Settings panel as seen above.With Atom open, click on
File > Settings
, and then the System
tab on the left. Check the boxes next to Show in file context menus
, as well as Show in folder context menus
. And you’re all set.Installing Atom on Linux

.rpm
or .deb
package from https://atom.io. For more details, see Installing Atom on Linux.Portable Mode
Atom stores configuration and state in a
.atom
directory usually located in your home directory (%userprofile%
on Windows). You can however run Atom in portable mode where both the app and the configuration are stored together such as on a removable storage device.To setup Atom in portable mode download the zip/tar.gz package for your system and extract it to your removable storage.
Then create a
.atom
directory alongside the directory that contains atom.exe, for example:Then create a
.atom
directory alongside the Atom.app application, for example:Then create a
.atom
directory alongside the directory that contains the Atom binary, for example:Portable Notes
- The
.atom
directory must be writeable - You can move an existing
.atom
directory to your portable device - Atom can also store its Electron user data in your
.atom
directory - just create a subdirectory calledelectronUserData
inside.atom
- Alternatively you can set the
ATOM_HOME
environment variable to point wherever you want (you can write a .sh or .cmd script to temporarily set it and launch it from that) - Portable mode installations will not automatically update
Building Atom from Source
