How to set up atom / juno to run julia?

Question

I'm trying to set up Atom/Juno to run Julia so that it looks like the screen grab on this website - it looks exactly like what I want. http://junolab.org/

I have downloaded and installed Julia and Atom. On Atom I have installed packages uber-juno, julia-client and language-julia.

When trying to start Julia in Atom, I get the following error:

Error installing Atom.jl package Go to the Packages → Julia → Open Terminal menu and run Pkg.add("Atom") in Julia, then try again. If you still see an issue, please report it to: [email protected]

When I go to the terminal and type 'Pkg.add("Atom") I get the following error:

julia> Pkg.add("Atom")
INFO: Initializing package repository C:\Users\BRB\.julia\v0.5
INFO: Cloning METADATA from https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl

I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions?

you may be interested in just using JuliaPro (personal edition) — Tasos Papastylianou
First off, uber-juno is enough and it would install other required packages like julia-client, latex-completion, ... Secondly have you tried running Pkg.add("Atom") in REPL? Anyway this might be relevant: github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/19873 — A.Yazdiha
@Tascos. Thank you, I will definitely take a look at JuliaPro — brb
@A. Yazdiha. Yes, I have tried running Pkg.add("Atom") in REPL and I get the above error. I did look at the github link but I'm sorry, I don't know what I should do based on that. — brb

You seem to have a corrupt .julia directory. Delete C:\Users\BRB\.julia completely and try again.
