Install Atom Windows 10

A fancy new font can be a great way to spice up your written PC projects. But you need to install them to use them. Here's how to install fonts in Windows 10. This happened to me after letting Windows 10 auto update me to latest preview. Some apps (including Microsofts VS 2015 RC) failed after the upgrade, some still worked. Re-installation of Atom (and a few other apps) failed despite performing the steps above.

Installing Atom on Windows just got a whole lot easier with the new Atom Windowsinstaller that is now available from atom.io.

Using the new Atom Windows installer also sets up Atom to automaticallyupdate whenever a new release is published just like the Mac version of Atom.

Squirrel For Windows

Since Atom's first release last February it has used the open sourceSquirrel for Mac library forhandling automatic app updates.

Until recently there wasn't a Windows version available which is why Chocolateywas originally chosen to do the heavy-lifting. Now, thanks to@paulcbetts and many other awesomecontributors,there is a version of Squirrel for Windowsthat not only does automatic updates but also makes creating installers for anyapp incredibly easy.
