upgrade to Julia v1.0.2 yesterday; today was going to try out Blink…added it via pkg, then tried the second install step:

julia\> Blink.AtomShell.install()

and I get this error:

ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `7z x electron-v2.0.5-win32-x64.zip -oatom`: no

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Found a similar issue here:

[https://github.com/JunoLab/Blink.jl/issues/148](https://github.com/JunoLab/Blink.jl/issues/148)

and adding Julia bin to my PATH fixed the problem.
