Hi I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Julia, Atom, as well as the packages uber-juno and julia-client. But upon opening atom I receive this error message. I think the error stems from a failed installation of juno.
The effect of this error is I cannot access the Julia REPL/IDE at all. Any ideas?

Try entering the following commands in a shell after closing all Atom instances
```julia
apm uninstall ink
apm uninstall julia-client
apm install ink
apm install julia-client
```

Ah this helped! But now I have a new problem. Julia client has not completely installed. I need to put something in this text box that has popped up. Maybe this is where I insert the path to my julia installation? I’m not sure what that is.
I tried entering this: C:\Users\Zachariya Yazdani\AppData\Local\Julia-1.4.0\bin\julia.exe
but it did not respond. **What do I put in this box to complete the installation of julia-client?**

Hm, never happened to me. What happens if you start a REPL without Atom and type
```julia
using Atom
```
and restarting Atom?
