I would like to try Kite, which is concept of artificial intelligence helping developers with hints about useful functions or expressions that he or she is currently writing. I have downloaded the Kite Atom plugin from GitHub.

However, as I am new to GitHub's Atom Editor I don't know how to install this plugin into editor.

    Atom plugins are enabled by default, you will need to [sign up for Kite](https://www.kite.com/) to be able to use the full experience. – Richard Slater Apr 27 '16 at 09:22
  • yes i have signed up and i am waiting for invitation now. is there any clue about when i will get the invitation? – Jenism Apr 27 '16 at 10:20
  • I'd never heard of `kite` until you mentioned it, I have signed up to get access to the beta myself but only in the last couple of hours. – Richard Slater Apr 27 '16 at 11:07
  • ok i will let u know if i get the beta invitation access and how it works – Jenism Apr 27 '16 at 11:25

As this plugin isn't available from the Atom Package Manager repository you will need to link this manually:

  1. Clone the Repository.
  2. Change to the plugins\atom directory.

  3. Run the following command:

    apm link kite

I've created a short animation to show you me doing this on my system:

  • may you please tell how to do it on sublime-text – Nour Alhadi Mahmoud Jan 24 '17 at 15:24
  • @NourAlhadiMahmoud I'm afraid I don't know how to do it in Sublime Text 2/3 - can I suggest posting a new question? Alternatively maybe get in contact with Kite for support. – Richard Slater Jan 26 '17 at 13:44
  • Much as I appreciate a thorough answer, a gif of terminal commands absent the corresponding text isn't very useful. – John D. Feb 24 '17 at 21:07
  • The directory `plugins/atom` does not exist in the repository you reference. The top level can be viewed [here](https://github.com/kiteco/plugins). – John D. Feb 28 '17 at 00:10
