In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Atom Community on macOS.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Go to the Atom Community repository on GitHub by clicking here.
Click the green "Clone or download" button and select "Download ZIP".
Once the ZIP file is downloaded, extract it by double-clicking on it.
Open the Terminal app on your Mac by searching for it in Spotlight or by navigating to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
In the Terminal app, navigate to the extracted folder using the cd command. For example, if you extracted the ZIP file to your Downloads folder, you would run the following command:
cd ~/Downloads/atom-community-atom-<version>
Run the following command in the Terminal app to install Atom Community:
make install
This command may take some time to complete. You may see some warning messages during the installation process, but these can generally be ignored.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Atom Community by running the following command in the Terminal app:
atom
Alternatively, you can search for "Atom Community" in Spotlight, or navigate to the Applications folder and double-click on the "Atom Community" app.
That's it! You've successfully installed Atom Community on your Mac.
