Hi,

I have a freshly set-up Ubuntu system (18.04 LTS amd64 on standard hardware). Of course, first thing I did, was installing atom with Julia… Well, at least I tried.  
For some reason atom (version 1.40.0) is giving me the following error message  
“Error: Installing “julia-client@0.9.4” failed.” and I prompted to check my internet connection or open a thread here. My internet connection is doing fine and I additionally tried with a prior version of atom (1.38.2 which is working an Mac) but the problem remains. So yeah, can anybody help me with this?

Many Thanks  
G

Can you try `apm install julia-client` in a terminal? That should give more helpful output.

Worked! (Running apm to install it, did the job without any conflicts…)

Thank You

I have one remark though.

Using apm directly only works with atom 1.38.2.

With the most recent version 1.40.0. I get the following errors:

> $apm install julia-client  
> bash: /usr/bin/apm: No such file or directory

And when going for sudo

> $ sudo apm install julia-client

I get the same error on windows 10 with atom 1.40.0. I uninstalled atom and cleared .atom, reinstalled and got the error again.  
When I tried with ‘apm install julia-client’, i got the following:

Just to gather some more data, can you try installing Atom 1.39.1, disable auto updates, and install julia-client with that version? I honestly don’t know why this issue is cropping up _again_ – the difficult transition should have been between 1.38 and 1.39…

Ok, so this probably is [an issue with Atom](https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/19780).

Downgrading to Atom 1.39 or 1.38 should work until we figure out a fix for this. You can also try [these instructions](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation), after which Juno should once again install fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused, and I’ll keep everyone posted on our progress.

When I downgraded my Atom to 1.39, I could install julia-client without any issue.

Thank you so much!

For me it also just works on atom 1.39.1. Thanks!

I opened an issue for atom:

[https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/19789](https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/19789)

it is still open, but a comment points to

[https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/19780](https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/19780)

which is about atom plugins containing native components compiled for older atom releases. Maybe someone can check relevance for julia-client?

This issue will be hopefully fixed in the next Atom’s patch release (v1.40.1). It’s still not shipped yet though.

Ok great, but when I try to update Atom from 1.40.0 to 1.40.1 it says no updates are available, so it never updates to 1.40.1.

I’m trying to update clicking on the buttons Atom → Preferences → Updates → Check For Updates.

I also try Atom → Check for Updates.

Neither of these methods recognizes that 1.40.1 exists.

It finally upgraded after I quit and restarted and tried the upgrades again.

I had previously commented out  
export npm\_config\_python=“${binDir}/python-interceptor.sh”  
in the /usr/local/bin/apm file to get julia-client to work with Atom 1.40.0

Maybe that caused some problem. Anyway it seems to work now.

I have the same problem and running apm install julia-client in cmd is fail. Finally I tried it in Miniconda 2 prompt using python 2.7.15 and its works!
