Atom IDE with Anaconda Python Interpreter

Awesome Atom IDE with Advance Data Science Tool kit

Prerequisites

Download and Install Anaconda Distribution from here.

Please configure the Anaconda Python interpreter using my above blog: Configure Anaconda Python interpreter

Now, Let’s download Atom IDE from here.

Once the locally downloaded file, we install it with the default settings.

When you open Atom IDE first-time, you will see this Welcome Page.

Click on Install a Package

Let’s install Platformio-ide-terminal package. Type package name and click on Install option.

Awesome! The package has been installing successfully.

Now Let’s open a project which I have created, the Python Hello World project. You can open any of your python files.

This my simple python hello world script, which prints the text written in line 1.

Now, Let’s integrate the python environment that we have created in the previous post. Or we can create a new environment.

To run the python script, let’s open Terminal.

Terminal and Source Code will have a separate window.

Let’s check the conda service version.

conda -V

The below command will list the available conda (python) environments.

conda env init

We can also create a new python environment :

To use / activate a python enviroment, conda activate <Environment name>

conda activate lab11

But if you get an error like below, Please follow this step or you can skip this.

conda init

Restart IDE OR Close Terminal.

Once we restart the Atom IDE, Let’s open the terminal.

Activate the available conda python environment, here in this example I have activated lab11 environment.

conda activate lab11

Python version check :

python -v

Run the python script :

python .\hello_world.py

Congratulation! You have successfully configured Atom IDE with Anaconda Python interpreter. Now, it’s ready to use!!
