Getting apm to work on Windows, no Atom folder

I'd like to get apm working on Windows. I have Atom (1.2.4) installed.

I have read that Atom comes with apm, but people seem to point to:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Atom\app\resources\app\apm\bin

I have no Atom folder in my Local folder.

Does that mean I don't have apm installed at all..?

I need to add the executable to my PATH variables so I can run it from a command line, but I don't know where apm is installed!

Looks like it's here: C:\Program Files\Atom\resources\app\apm\bin.

There is a file called apm with no file extension that seems to be the apm command line utility.

The apm docs aren't much help, the Installing section just references a:

Atom > Install Shell Commands menu option

Which is a Mac thing, it doesn't exist on Windows.

I am using Win7, installed Atom v1.15.0, the apm moved to C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\atom\bin.

You need to do:

1. Setting above path to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System\Advanced system setting\Environment Variables

2. Restart the Windows' cmd.exe window, and try installing a package apm install atom-beautify

Hope this helps

Btw, on Windows platform, you may encounter compilation error wile install a package required node-gyp if you haven't installed a C++ compiler.

Installing one can help you out by:

A. Execute this command (from here): npm install --global windows-build-tools

B. Installing Visual C++ Build Tools (standalone C++ compiler, libraries and tools)
