I already tried a clean reinstall but the problem persists. The Python executable is in the path. I do not understand what is meant by Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

Note that previous installations worked fine

Juno fails to install julia-client@0.9.4

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…

I am tagging along, have the same problem.
Found this semi-old thread, but that can’t be a solution for good… : https://github.com/JunoLab/Juno.jl/issues/332

The fix is described in the JunoLab FAQ:

http://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/faq.html#FAQ-1

Juno doesn’t work properly after some Atom packages were updated. What do I do?

There’s a chance the update of julia-client failed. To get a clean re-install while preserving any setting you might have changed, try the following steps:

1. Close all Atom instances.
2. Start a terminal (e.g. cmd on Windows or the Terminal App on MacOS)
3. Execute apm uninstall julia-client .
4. Execute apm install julia-client .
5. Start Juno. Evertyhing should work again.

However, apm install julia-client fails for me

The thread I linked above has a workaround (and the next Atom release will provide an actual fix):

Juno fails to install julia-client@0.9.4

Ok, so this probably is an issue with Atom. Downgrading to Atom 1.39 or 1.38 should work until we figure out a fix for this. You can also try these instructions, 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.
