Atom editor, can't install packages

Hello,

I’m having an issue whenever I try to install packages into the Atom editor. If I go to Settings → Install I get the following error message:

Fetching featured packages failed.Hide output…
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1122
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: The module '/usr/lib/node_modules/atom-package-manager/node_modules/git-utils/build/Release/git.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

The same goes for Settings → Updates and Settings → Packages just says “Loading packages” forever.

I’ve tried reinstalling Atom & APM a bunch of times, also clearing Pacman’s cache and deleting local configuration files for Atom.

Atom -v:

Atom    : 1.57.0
Electron: 9.4.4
Chrome  : 83.0.4103.122
Node    : 12.14.1

apm -v returns the same error message as before, however on pamac the installed version is 2.6.1-4

inxi output:

See this issue:

apm and npm got an update that’s currently in testing/unstable - if you care to switch branches in order to try the updated versions…

I’ve installed Atom following the instructions on that Github issue:

I was having trouble building it from source this time, but I got it to work with the latest version of NPM. What I did was download the deb from https://atom.io and converted it to an arch package with the debtap program. After installing debtap, you should run sudo debtap -u and then debtap path/to/atom.deb. Input the packager name and MIT for the license, and when it asks you if you want to edit the PKGINFO file, select your text editor. Now you need to remove 2 dependencies, kde-runtime and tuxedo-control-center, and then save the PKGINFO file. After it finishes making the package, just run sudo pacman -U path/to/atom.pkg.tar.zst to install atom.

Now apm is at version 2.6.2 and working fine, thank you for your help!
