How to run a program in Atom Editor?

I find the Script package useful for this. You can download it here.

Once installed you can run scripts in many languages directly from Atom using cmd-i on Mac or shift-ctrl-b on Windows or Linux.


  1. Click on Packages --> Commmand Palette --> Select Toggle.
  2. Type Install Packages and Themes.
  3. Search for Script and then install it.
  4. Press Command + I to run the code (on Mac)

You can go settings, select packages and type atom-runner there if your browser can't open this link.

To run your code do Alt+R if you're using Windows in Atom.


For C/C++ programs there's very good package gpp-compiler.

Shortcuts:

  • To compile and run: F5
  • To debug: F6

If you know how to launch your program from the command line then you can run it from the platformio-ide-terminal package's terminal. See platformio-ide-terminal provides an embedded terminal within the Atom text editor. So you can issue commands, including commands to run your Java program, from within it. To install this package you can use APM with the command:

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

Alternatively, you can install it from the command palette with:

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+P. I am assuming this is the appropriate keyboard shortcut for your platform, as you have dealt ith questions about Ubuntu in the past.
  • Type Install Packages and Themes.
  • Search for the platformio-ide-terminal.
  • Install it.

This package in Atom can run scripts.

Also pressing ctrl+shift+i in atom gives developer option like chrome

you can test javascript code side by side in atom editor.
