You can also install packages from the command line using apm.
Make sure you have apm installed by running the following command in your terminal:
apm help install
You should see a printout of a message with apm installation command information.
If you do not, run Atom and run the Atom > Install Shell Commands menu to install the apm and atom commands.
You can also install packages using the apm install command:
apm install <package_name> to install the latest version. apm install <package_name>@<package_version> to install a specific version.
For example, apm install emmet@0.1.5 installs the 0.1.5 release of the Emmet package into ~/.atom/packages .
You can also use apm to search for new packages to install:
apm search coffee to search for CoffeeScript packages. apm view emmet to see more information about a specific package.
