Atom editor, can't install packages

Support Software & Applications

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!
