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

> 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](https://github.com/JunoLab/Juno.jl/issues/332)

The fix is described in the JunoLab FAQ:

> 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.

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

> 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.
