If you are on another platform, use the Other platforms link:

• If you are a Mac user, go to the https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest link and download the atom-X.X.X-full.nupkg file, where X.X.X is the version number of Atom. Install it by double-clicking on the file.
• If you are an Ubuntu user, you can follow the https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/latest link and download the atom-amd64.deb file. After downloading it, launch your Terminal in the same folder, where you placed the file after downloading it. Then, write the following code:

  sudo dpkg --install atom-amd64.deb
  

  You may need the administrative password to install it. After the installation is complete, you can run Atom from the Terminal by typing Atom and pressing Enter.
