Answer 1

Ubuntu 16.04 and later

Run these commands to quickly and easily install and upgrade the Atom text editor snap package from the terminal in Ubuntu 16.04 and later (64-bit only).

• Install Atom text editor:

    sudo snap install --classic atom  
  

  Note that a snap in classic confinement behaves as a traditionally packaged application with full access to the system, and Atom extension packages are installed into the user's home directory.

• Upgrade Atom text editor:

    sudo snap refresh --classic atom
