ATOM.io (another, but better looking code editor)

I know, we have a whole lot of code editors now, but you can never have too much right? Smile

This one is called Atom. I believe it's open source. It's new and looks very modern, much like Brackets but not from Adobe.

You can find the app here:
https://atom.io/

And the source can be found here:
https://github.com/atom/atom

Thanks all.

.NET 4.5

For future reference, this requires .NET 4.5 which is only bundled with Windows 8 and higher. Windows 7 and lower (the vast majority of Windows machines) requires .NET 4.5 to be installed with administrative rights.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Are you sure?

The build process doesn't require .NET, and it seems the Atom is built using Node.JS and Chromium using Electron. No .NET needed.

If Im not wrong, Atom does

If Im not wrong, Atom does not requires .Net.

Please make it portable. Here a discuss for it: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/2939

Atom is based on nodeJs and chromium. It is fully featured cross platform text editor.

John is partly correct

It seems the Windows installer requires .NET 4.5, but Atom itself does not. The following thread from the Atom website explains that the Atom installer may be bypassed by simply downloading and extracting a .zip file.

no .net

from what i know it doesn't require .net
I made a portable version of their zip dist a long time ago, but didn't publish it because atom is just not as good as brackets so why bother.
I saw it was working good so if you really need it and you prefer it over brackets.io than tell me and i'll publish it.
if you want to tryout brackets.io first, go to: https://github.com/sagiegurari/brackets-portable/releases/tag/1.4.0.3

I did

I read it but when using paf, installers are usually not needed and for atom.io definitely as they provide a zip package without an installer.
I wanted to confirm that everyone understands that .net is not needed for the app.

Have you figured out if this

Have you figured out if this requires .NET 4.5 or not? https://portableapps.com/node/53604

All I know is that I install recommended updates on Windows 7, I wasn't really able to found out my .NET version for 100% sure, according to Microsoft's guide here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568(v=vs.110).aspx
