Atom Shell Commands

votes

I had previously installed the shell commands so I could be able to open atom from my terminal. However, I tried using it today and it didn't work: "atom: command not found". I proceeded to install the commands again, and everything worked fine. By then I decided to reboot the computer and open terminal again, and open a file using the atom command, and once again: "atom: command not found".

I don't think I should install the shell commands every time I try to use the terminal right? How can I fix this?

I had this same issue. I found a solution after some searching.

In your terminal;

run: which atom should return: /usr/local/bin/atom

In atom;

Hold: Cmd+Shift+P

then when you get a text box, run: Window: Install Shell Commands

It confirms and then you're good to go. https://flight-manual.atom.io/getting-started/sections/installing-atom/
