Installing atom-hydra !UPDATED!

NOTE: Atom text editor is being deprecated! However, this package should still work. This package will continue to be sporadically maintained for the time being. In the future, it will hopefully work with community forks of atom. It is no longer possible to publish packages to the atom package registry. Instead, you must update atom hydra manually. Here are the steps for doing that:

On Pulsar

1. Make sure that ppm (pulsar package manager) is installed. On linux, it should be automatically installed with atom. On OSX, go to the 'Atom' menu, and click 'Install Shell Commands'. On windows, it doesn't work as of now, read further. If you don't want to install it because it'd name collide with perl's ppm, replace the ppm command in the following actions with pulsar -p.
2. Download this repository git clone https://github.com/hydra-synth/atom-hydra.git
3. Enter the atom directory cd atom-hydra
4. Install the dependencies ppm install
5. Load this package ppm link .
6. Restart pulsar

Windows users

The pulsar package manager doesn't work on Windows as of now. You can still install following these instructions:

1. Make sure that you have npm installed.
2. Download this repository git clone https://github.com/hydra-synth/atom-hydra.git
3. Enter the atom directory cd atom-hydra
4. Install the dependencies npm install
5. Copy and paste the atom-hydra folder to C:\Users\yourusername\.pulsar\packages
6. Restart pulsar

On Atom (last version)

(If you already have atom-hydra installed through the atom GUI, uninstall it there before performing these steps.)

1. Make sure that apm (atom package manager) is installed. On linux and windows, it should be automatically installed with atom. On OSX, go to the 'Atom' menu, and click 'Install Shell Commands'.
2. Download this repository git clone https://github.com/hydra-synth/atom-hydra.git
3. Enter the atom directory cd atom-hydra
4. Install the dependencies apm install
5. Load this package apm link .
6. Restart atom

Running atom-hydra

1. restart atom
2. packages > atom-hydra > toggle
3. create a file ending with .js in atom
4. type osc().out()
5. ctrl-enter to run block of code
6. shift-enter to run a line of code
7. ctrl-h to show and hide code
