Hi Julia Users, This is my first post and I’m afraid it won’t be very interesting and is basically selfish, however, I’m following the instructions I received from the Atom dashboard and really want to run Julia in Atom/Juno…

I was able to successfully install Atom and Juno on my machine. When I went to test some Julia code in the editor, Julia stopped and the following message came up.

Error installing Atom.jl package  
Go to the Packages → Julia → Open Terminal menu and  
run `Pkg.add("Atom")` in Julia, then try again.  
If you still see an issue, please report it to:  
[julia-users@googlegroups.com](mailto:julia-users@googlegroups.com)

I tried to install Atom using the command Pkg.add(“Atom”) in the Julia command line, but I got the error pasted below.

I would be very grateful for any assistance or guidance with this issue.

1. Try [JuliaPro](https://juliacomputing.com/products/juliapro.html), which will make the setup easier.
2. If for some reason you don’t want to do that, use at least `v0.5.1`.

There’s a package resolver issue in v0.5; you can find similar postings. AFAIK, this issue will be fixed in 0.5.2.
