Atom.io build for linux (atom.io)

Ehm, I might miss something but I can see nowhere that there are builds available for Linux. Could someone point me to where this would be available?


It will be available at https://atom.io. It's not quite ready, but you can see a screenshot here: http://discuss.atom.io/t/linux-build-screenshot/6317


Right, then I fail to see the value of this submission at all. Maybe should hint in the title that nothing usable have been released yet.


Not yet. Just a peek at Github's internal build.


What the hell is the point of basing a program on web technologies if the result does not run everywhere?


It's in closed alpha, they are planning to release it on all three platforms.


There are more than three platforms.


Being more easily extendable? I thought that was more of the idea.


I wonder if there is a market for a solid text editor written in Java (so that it can run on all platforms out of the box). I hate that I use different text editors for different platforms right now (Notepad++ for windows, sublime for linux+mac).


Um, SublimeText doesn't run on Windows?


They're called Eclipse and jEdit?


Sublime runs great on Windows


Got an invite, but I don't have a Mac. Still waiting on a Windows build.


Got an invite, have a Mac, but closed tab after clicking invitation link. Link doesn't work now. Don't know how to get it now.


I had a similar problem; I downloaded it on a mac that didn't meet the minimum os requirement, then deleted it. Couldn't use the link again on the newer mac. Don't most people expect to be able to re-download this?


Go to the website (https://atom.io) and click Sign In in the footer. A download link will show once you are signed in.


Thanks! After Signing in it redirects me to my github page. I had to visit atom.io again, click Sign in again and - voila - Download button appears. Very confusing.


Have you tried logging in, using the link at the bottom of the page?


CTRL+ALT+T will re-open the last closed tab.


Trying to login but the confirmation email never came.


Rickrolling is better than misleading title.


Nothing included in Atom was convincing enough to switch me from Sublime but no cross platform definitely hurts.


it's NOT ready (as far as i can tell), so PLEASE stop with the misleading title!!!

April 1 was 10 days ago!


I wonder when a Windows' build is coming out.
