# atom-shell
|
|
|
|
Install [atom-shell](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell) prebuilt binaries for command-line use using npm. Works on Mac, Windows and Linux.
|
|
|
|
Atom Shell is a javascript runtime that bundles Node.js and Chromium. You use it similar to the `node` command on the command line for executing javascript programs. This module helps you easily install the `atom-shell` command for use on the command line without having to compile anything.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Download and install the latest build of atom-shell for your OS and symlink it into your PATH:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install -g atom-shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If that command fails with an `EACCESS` error you may have to run it again with `sudo`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo npm install -g atom-shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can just run `atom-shell` to run atom-shell:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
atom-shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
First you have to [write an atom shell application](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/blob/master/docs/tutorial/quick-start.md#write-your-first-atom-shell-app)
|
|
|
|
Then you can run your app using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
atom-shell your-app/
|
|
```
