.. index:: Atom .. _Atom: Atom ==== Description ----------- Atom is a hackable text editor build on `Electron `_. User instructions ----------------- Atom is installed as a module and can be added to your environment with: .. code-block:: bash $ module load atom/1.24.0 The command to launch the application is ``atom``. Documentation is available in the application and at the `Atom website `_. Source ------ https://github.com/atom/atom License ------- MIT License Admin notes ----------- A pre-compiled tarball can be downloaded from https://github.com/atom/atom/releases and unpacked into the modules hierarchy in a pkg directory. In a bin directory, the following script called ``atom`` was placed: .. code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash $(dirname $0)/../pkg/atom $@ There is an additional potential `issue `_ with using atom in an x2go remote desktop session. To work around this, I placed a copy of ``libxcb.so.1`` in the pkg directory, and modified it with ``sed -i 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' libxcb.so.1``.
