Installed JuliaPro-0.6.1.1 on Ubuntu-16.04, in a parallel directory to base Julia-0.6.
Julia console in the JuliaPro installation of Atom always lead to a fatal error, which traced to this:
JuliaPro julia> using Atom
ERROR: SystemError: opening file /home/myName/.juliapro-0.6.1.1/lib/v0.6/Atom.ji: Permission denied

JuliaPro doesn’t have the proper permissions to open Atom.ji. Which seemed strange. So, comparing the installation directories of base Julia and JuliaPro:
$ ls -l ~/.julia/lib/v0.6/ | grep Atom.ji
-rw------- 1 myName myName 137120 Dec 27 20:45 Atom.ji
$ ls -l ~/.juliapro-0.6.1.1/lib/v0.6/ | grep Atom.ji
-rw------- 1 root root 142271 Dec 27 20:37 Atom.ji
JuliaPro installed all the .ji files as root. To test further, I deleted all the JuliaPro directories, including ~/.juliapro-0.6.1.1, and reinstalled JuliaPro from the shell script, without super user permissions.
Result: All the JuliaPro .ji files were still installed as root.
Solution: change the ownership. From bash terminal:
sudo chown myName ~/.juliapro-0.6.1.1/lib/v0.6/*.ji
Now the JuliaPro version of Atom/Juno works fine. Hope this helps other users.
