Scripts for updating the Atom editor.

#AtomUpdates AtomUpdates hosts intelligent scripts for detecting your current version of Atom, checking for updates, and then downloading the proper update package if needed. The scripts are fully customisable but offer reasonable choices out-of-the-box.

If the installed version of Atom is the same as the latest release, the script will automatically terminate. If you have an outdated version, the script will, at your prompting, download and install the latest version.

Currently, only Atom Beta is supported. We will soon add a script for updating Atom Stable as well.

#Supported Linux Distros: Debian
Debian
Ubuntu
Linux Mint
LMDE

Red Hat
Fedora
Korora
CentOS

Others
openSUSE

If you don't see your distro listed here, but it uses either dpkg/apt or rpm/yum/dnf/zypper, chances are it's supported too!

The precompiled Atom binaries are only for 64-bit distros. If you only have a 32-bit machine, you should either compile the source code yourself or look for a trusted third-party precompiled binary. For example, there is a Ubuntu PPA that offers 32-bit Atom binaries.

To request support for another distro, or to let us know that an unlisted distro works, please open an Issue or submit a pull request.
