Atom is a popular text editor that is used by many developers, and the Atom community is a group of enthusiasts who have created a set of packages and plugins for the editor. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Atom Community on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Git is a version control system that is required to download Atom Community from Github. To install it, open the terminal and enter the following command:
