The website for Atom is very convoluted and requires more explanation for the process of choosing what and how to download...they have a lot of "stuff" on there. This was the first confusing video for this series, unfortunately..

Treehouse TeacherHi Ricardo Redd,
The video is a walkthrough of what's possible outside of Workspaces, without getting too specific about text editors. Have you checked out the Introducing Text Editors workshop posted in the teacher's notes of the video? We created the workshop to help you choose, install and work with text editors. Hope this helps. :)

1,675 PointsThe Atom site has a lot of links and info about tons of "packages" and GitHub..and then the Github site has a plethora of selections. This is very confusing for a newbie coder...

7,417 PointsNo I mean what Operating system, like windows, mac, Linux?
Ricardo Redd
1,675 PointsAhh! Windows.
Ammar Fatihallah
7,417 PointsGreat, now, do you want to install atom only? If so, go to https://atom.io/ and click on Download windows (64 or 32 )bit installer and it should install right away.

1,675 PointsYou want me to post all the code in this convo?
Ricardo Redd
1,675 PointsTo your point, I think I will just use the Team Treehouse workspace and as I go through these lessons, I will figure out all that I need to know. I am on the Front End Web Development track and I've just completed all of the HTML modules (for the track). This is a really great site and I've learned a ton already. I am in it for the long-haul. :-)

7,417 PointsCan we finish this tomorrow? sorry, it's like 10:15 at night where I am right now and I got some classes tomorrow, sorry; I bet though there will be someone in the community to help you while I'm not around. Till I comeback, you have a good one :)

1,675 PointsHi, nothing to finish. As I said, I am good to go and will move forward and learn as I finish the track. :-)

1,675 PointsHi Ammar, I've already installed Atom and I am using it..
However, my new "problem" is that I am not able to see my pictures on the local browser for the VR site I made using the lessons. In Chrome and using the Team Tree House workspace, everything works fine. But when viewing the same web pages through Atom, only my HTML text appears...in the browser.
Ammar Fatihallah
7,417 Pointsare you using something like a framework? or just html/css?
Ricardo Redd
1,675 PointsHi, just HTML currently. I've only downloaded my treehouse workspace files into Atom (through my desktop) and opened the webpages using my local browser. There are a few photos from the lesson that should appear, along with the HTML text. Everything opens successfully when using the treehouse workspace and Chrome. The photos however, do not open when using the Atom text editor and the local browser (via Internet Explorer).
Ammar Fatihallah
7,417 PointsFirst, can you post your html code. Second, you probably won't have good luck with internet explorer; it's a problem with all of us web developers and web designers lmao.
