apm: Install a package from http://atom.io/packages or a theme from http://atom.io/themes.
$ apm install ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "apm install ${package_name}" is a command used in Atom, a text editor software created by GitHub. This command is used to install a package in Atom's ecosystem.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "apm" refers to the Atom Package Manager, a command-line tool that helps manage Atom packages.
  • "install" is the command for installing packages using the Atom Package Manager.
  • "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. This part should be replaced by the actual name of the package you want to install.

To use this command, you would replace "${package_name}" with the name of the package you want to install. For example, if you want to install the package called "language-python", the command would be:

apm install language-python

Executing this command will prompt Atom's Package Manager to search for the specified package in its repository and install it into your Atom editor.
