# Linux
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu LTS 12.04 64-bit is the recommended platform.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* OS with 64-bit architecture
|
|
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) v0.10.x
|
|
* [npm](http://www.npmjs.org/) v1.4.x
|
|
* libgnome-keyring-dev `sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring-dev` (refer to your distribution's manual on how to install packages if you are not on Debian or Ubuntu-based systems)
|
|
* `npm config set python /usr/bin/python2 -g` to ensure that gyp uses Python 2
|
|

|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/atom/atom
|
|
cd atom
|
|
script/build # Creates application at $TMPDIR/atom-build/Atom
|
|
sudo script/grunt install # Installs command to /usr/local/bin/atom
|
|
script/grunt mkdeb # Generates a .deb package at $TMPDIR/atom-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Exception: "TypeError: Unable to watch path"
|
|
|
|
If you get following error with a big traceback right after Atom starts:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
TypeError: Unable to watch path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
you have to increase number of watched files by inotify. For testing if
|
|
this is the reason for this error you can issue
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=32768
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and restart Atom. If Atom now works fine, you can make this setting permanent:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 32768 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
|
|
```
