Ubuntu – The ‘terminal-plus’ package for Atom editor doesn’t work

atomeditor

I am using Atom editor on ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit and I installed terminal-plus package.
I can create a new terminal but I cannot write into it as you see in the screenshot below

PS: I don't know if it's related to this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'focus' of null which I have.

The terminal-plus package is unmaintained with its last update being in November 2015. So I would like to advise that you switch to my Atom package (please note, that this package is only compatible with Linux platforms, if you want a terminal package to use on your non-Linux machines please use platformio-ide-terminal instead!), terminal-fusion. To install it merely run:

$ apm install terminal-fusion --no-confirm

where $ denotes a user console (so do not run this command as root!). I would advise that you uninstall terminal-plus first via running:

$ apm remove terminal-plus --no-confirm

If you would like to show your appreciation for my package, please star it with apm, by running:

$ apm star terminal-fusion

or star it on GitHub by logging into GitHub and clicking "Star" at the URL https://github.com/fusion809/terminal-fusion.

EDIT: This answer is now out-of-date I'm afraid as terminal-fusion is no longer maintained so please use platformio-ide-terminal instead. To install it run:

$ apm install platformio-ide-terminal --no-confirm

where is $ is the user console. To star it and thereby show your appreciation to its author (which isn't me, but they still deserve your appreciation) run:

$ apm star platformio-ide-terminal

Updates – How to Automatically Update Atom Editor

TL;DR If you do not want to use the PPA, you can use a script to download and automatically install via cron.

Create a new file atom-auto-update

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/atom-auto-update

Add the following lines

#!/bin/bash
wget -q https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest -O /tmp/latest
wget -q $(awk -F '[<>]' '/href=".*atom-amd64.deb/ {match($0,"href=\"(.*.deb)\"",a); print "https://github.com/" a[1]} ' /tmp/latest) -O /tmp/atom-amd64.deb
dpkg -i /tmp/atom-amd64.deb

Save the file and make it executable

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/atom-auto-update

Test the script
```
sudo atom-auto-update
```
Create a cronjob for the script
```
sudo crontab -e
```

Add this line

e.g.: at 10 am every week

0 10 * * 1 /usr/local/bin/atom-auto-update

e.g.: at 10 am every day

0 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/atom-auto-update

Explanation

wget -q https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest -O /tmp/latest

Download the site with the latest version information
wget -q $(awk -F '[<>]' '/href=".*atom-amd64.deb/ {match($0,"href=\"(.*.deb)\"",a); print "https://github.com/" a[1]} ' /tmp/latest) -O /tmp/atom-amd64.deb
1. … awk -F '[<>]' '/href=".*atom-amd64.deb/ {match($0,"href=\"(.*.deb)\"",a); print "https://github.com/" a[1]} ' /tmp/latest …
  
  Extract the download link
2. wget -q $( … ) -O /tmp/atom-amd64.deb
  
  Download the DEB file
dpkg -i /tmp/atom-amd64.deb

Install the DEB file
