The error is caused by package being renamed from linter-pep8 to linter-pycodestyle v2.0.0

Solution:

  1. Uninstall pep8 sudo pip uninstall pep8
  2. Uninstall pycodestyle sudo pip uninstall pycodestyle
  3. Again installing pycodestyle sudo pip install pycodestyle
  4. Uninstall ATOM linter-pep8 package apm uninstall linter-pep8
  5. Installing ATOM linter-pycodestyle package apm install linter-pycodestyle
  6. Check if pycodestyle was installed correctly by executing which pycodestyle in terminal. It should return path to pycodestyle (eg. /usr/local/bin/pycodestyle). You might set this path in Executable Path setting of atoms' linter-pycodestyle package -but it should work by default

    I had to reinstall pep8 to get this to work - after running this, I ran into the error `spawn pep8 ENOENT`, which was fixed by running `sudo pip install pep8`. – camdroid Feb 15 '17 at 18:25
