I hope I haven’t missed this anywhere, but I was wondering if there was a quick way to disable Juno and then re-enable it again. I use Atom for other languages besides Julia so having Juno around all the time isn’t perfect for my use case. Is this possible?

Thank you.

There are mainly 2 ways to do this:

The first and recommended way is what @mortenpi showed in slack:

from [Slack](https://julialang.slack.com/archives/C6A044SQH/p1573313147161100?thread_ts=1573311257.160100&cid=C6A044SQH:)

> if you can easily access a terminal, you can set `ATOM_HOME` to point somewhere other than `~/.atom` before launching Atom, e.g. `ATOM_HOME=~/atom-clean atom`

> I actually always put this script into my PATH: [https://github.com/mortenpi/juno-debian/blob/master/src/juno](https://github.com/mortenpi/juno-debian/blob/master/src/juno) so my main Atom environment is clean and if I want Juno, I just launch `juno`

The second is to use [atomic-management](https://github.com/harmsk/atomic-management), which enables _kind of_ per-project config. Then you can create `.atom/config.cson` for each project and enable/disable Juno via putting `julia-client` into `*.core.disabledPacakges` config. Note that this way may slow down your Atom’s activation, and that why I recommend the first way if you’re familiar with shell script.

Also it’s worth to note that for both ways, you can unload/disable `ink` package, which may ease your activation time, but then any deserialization (restoring the previous window state) won’t anymore.

Using [Juno-plus](https://atom.io/packages/juno-plus) you can enable or disable Juno using a button.
