# Linux
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu LTS 12.04 64-bit is the recommended platform.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* OS with 64-bit or 32-bit architecture
|
|
* C++ toolchain
|
|
* on Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install build-essential`
|
|
* on Fedora: `sudo yum --assumeyes install make gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel`
|
|
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) v0.10.x
|
|
* [Ubuntu/Debian/Mint instructions](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager#ubuntu-mint-elementary-os)
|
|
* [Fedora instructions](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager#fedora)
|
|
* [npm](http://www.npmjs.org/) v1.4.x
|
|
* `npm` comes with node.js so no explicit installation is needed here.
|
|
* You can check `npm` 1.4 or above is installed by running `npm -v`.
|
|
* libgnome-keyring-dev
|
|
* on Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring-dev`
|
|
* on Fedora: `sudo yum --assumeyes install libgnome-keyring-devel`
|
|
* on other distributions refer to the manual on how to install packages
|
|
* `npm config set python /usr/bin/python2 -g` to ensure that gyp uses Python 2
|
|
* This command may require `sudo` depending on how you have
|
|
[configured npm](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager#ubuntu-mint-elementary-os).
|
|
* Git
|
|
* on Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install git`
|
|
* on Fedora: `sudo yum install git-core`
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
If you get this notice when attempting to `script/build`, you either do not
|
|
have nodejs installed, or node isn't identified as nodejs on your machine.
|
|
If it's the latter, entering `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node` into
|
|
your terminal may fix the issue.
