Configuring Atom
-
Download and install atom from https://atom.io/. If on OS X, open atom and choose from the Atom menu, “Install Shell Commands”. (This step should not be necessary on Windows or Linux operating systems.)
-
Open a Terminal window (Mac users) or a GitBash window (Windows users)
-
enter these commands (you can copy and paste the whole list)
apm install intentions
apm install busy-signal
apm install linter
apm install linter-ui-default
apm install linter-autocomplete-jing
apm install atom-xsltransform
apm install tablr
apm install xml-formatter
- Download the file atom-tablr-conf.cson, change directories to your Downloads folder, and copy it to atom’s default location for config files. You can do that with the
cdandcpcommands in your terminal.
cd Downloads
cp atom-tablr-conf.cson $HOME/.atom/config.cson
(Gotcha: if your browser renames your file for you when you download – e.g., if it calls it atom-tablr-conf.txt – it, you’ll have to use the name it chose instead of atom-tablr-conf.cson.)
(Sidenote: this step is not essential for today’s workshop, but is helpful if you want to get involved in the full editing process in the future)
-
Add the linter-autocomplete-jing plugin. You can choose to download it as a zip file by clicking the green button.
-
Install this package for automatic validation of documents following the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) schema. Again, just download the zip file and keep it somewhere on your computer.
