I'm creating a mac setup shell script and testing out installing Atom. They give instructions on how to Install the source, but installing source tends to take a lot longer than installing binaries.

When I run the sh script, It gets and installs the binaries,

./configure: No such file or directory

From here:

...
x atom-1.12.7/vendor/jasmine-jquery.js
x atom-1.12.7/vendor/jasmine.js
ln: /usr/local/bin/atom: File exists
/Users/danniu/Desktop/Configs/Bash Setup/mac_setup_script/install_atom.sh: line 10: ./configure: No such file or directory
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
Password: _____

I've tried following these instructions, and added ./configure --prefix=~/user/local/bin/atom to configure, but it gives the same issue.

Script:

mkdir -p ~/Desktop/testing123
cd ~/Desktop/testing123
ATOM_VER=1.12.7
echo "Hello $USER. Installing Atom v$ATOM_VER"
wget https://github.com/atom/atom/archive/v$ATOM_VER.tar.gz
tar -zxvf v$ATOM_VER.tar.gz
ln -s /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/atom.sh /usr/local/bin/atom
./configure
make
sudo make install
apm install atom-beautify
apm install docblockr
apm install pigments

  • If you remove the `/usr/local/bin/atom` and run as su? What happens? – Rik Jan 01 '17 at 00:09
  • So when you extract teh tar.gz file, does it scatter files all over your desktop? or is there a directory there, perhaps named atom-version or something? Normally a tarball will have a top level directory, and inside of that is where everything will be - including the configure script – ivanivan Jan 01 '17 at 00:23
  • @ivanivan no. It's all contained within `~/Desktop/testing123` – user3871 Jan 01 '17 at 00:32

    Then when you extract it, you need to cd to ./testing123 - then run the ./configure – ivanivan Jan 01 '17 at 01:01
  • It looks like atom doesn't have `configure` script. In the `git` you pasted, it says `script/build`. Use this script instead. – alvits Jan 18 '17 at 02:12

There's a missing step in your script: 

cd atom-${ATOM_VER}

right after tar and before configure.

EDIT: This is based on the assumption that a configure script exists!
