Hi community,

I have an issue installing Juno. I looked for an environment to write my code in, and I noticed that Juno was the one recommended. In order to install it, I installed Atom. In the preferences in atom, I tried looking for the uber-juno packages but nothing appears except this message:

> Searching for “uber-juno” failed.Hide output…  
> self signed certificate in certificate chain

Is there a solution to this issue?

Many thanks,  
Alex

Hi @KrKAlex, wellcome to Julia community. Concerning Juno, it is hard to tell. Have you installed Julia before trying to install Juno? But well, unless you really for some reason need Juno/Atom, I would go for another editor, namely [Visual Studio Code (vscode) with Julia extension](https://www.julia-vscode.org/). The reason is that Juno/Atom is now in maintainance mode and is not being developed further. It appears that even its developers shifted to vscode as the main future platform.

Are you saying you can’t find the `uber-juno` package using Atom’s package installation dialogue? For me it looks like this:

Is this where you’re getting the error? If so, can you find any other packages? This seems to be more an issue with your Atom installation or your internet connection/proxy settings than with Julia/Juno.

> self signed certificate in certificate chain

sounds like the reason for this going wrong.

Many thanks for your help. I am on my profesionnal laptop, and a lot of things are blocked by the proxy. This may be the reason why.

@zdenek_hurak reply worked out for me, I am now using Visual Studio, and I managed to get the Julia extension without issues. I will stick to it.

Many thanks to both of you for your help!
