Hey everyone!  
I installed Atom including all the relevant packages but i can’t connect it to Julia (julia itself works perfectly fine). I can’t even type anything into the REPL on Atom (there is a sad smiley - a screenshot of it is attached), so it seems that something there does not work. I’m a little desperate right now…  
It would be great if someone could help me since i need the programming apps for university and don’t really know what to do right now.

Did you follow the instructions installing [Juno](https://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/installation/)?

Yes i did. I installed uber-juno but then my laptop was frozen so i stopped atom. Maybe that was the problem… (i also deleted and reinstalled the packages but nothing works)

Try the first step of the update instructions: [Update Instructions · Juno Documentation](https://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/update)

It does seem likely that something went wrong with the installation.
