Just follow the instructions in the README on GitHub. Builds and runs fine on Arch Linux. Haven't tried building on a Win machine yet.

What steps did you take to get it running on Arch? I got as far as convincing it to use python2, but then realized I need gnome-keyring, and kind of stopped there. Which keyring package did you install?


There are already two packages in the AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atom-editor/

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atom-editor-git/


Already had extra/gnome-keyring 3.12.0-1 installed.
