Atom compatibility problem when installing julia packages

I’m trying to install a package in julia and get the following error message (this has happened with a couple of packages), which mentions a compatibility issue with Atom. Any ideas?

(v1.1) pkg> add KernelDensity.jl

Try

rm -m DebuggerFramework

(in the Pkg REPL) as suggested here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

Thanks, that worked.

Update: it worked but then when I relaunched atom it now crashed because, I think, I had deleted Debugger. I then reinstalled julia and juno and all packages worked fine.

Thanks aalexandersson! I had the same problem and this solved it.
How do you find this?

Had the same error rm -m DebuggerFramework didn’t work for me. But after I upgraded Julia from 1.01 to 1.1 everything started working fine.
