I’m using Atom behind a proxy on Win7. Every time I try to install new packages, it fails. So I googled around and found these two articles.
1. Setup Atom behind proxy
2. Unable to install packages behind corporate proxy
In short, what you need to do is:
Step 1.
If you’re using a proxy, you can configure apm (Atom Package Manager) to use it by setting the https-proxy config in your ~/.atom/.apmrc file:
https-proxy = https://prxoyip:0
If you are behind a firewall and seeing SSL errors when installing packages, you can disable strict SSL by putting the following in your ~/.atom/.apmrc file:
strict-ssl = false
You can run apm config get https-proxy
to verify it has been set correctly, and running apm config list
lists all custom config settings.
Step 2
Windows temporary:
set ATOM_NODE_URL=http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist
Windows permanently:
setx ATOM_NODE_URL http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist /M
You can remove it at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
Linux
export ATOM_NODE_URL=http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist
