Do you also have Atom installed this way?

Question

IDE

Hey!
I'm a bit frustrated with Atom.io. Not so long ago installed version 1.0.0. Everything would be fine, but during installation there is no choice where to install the program, in fact, there is no dialogue with the user at all. The Windows installer simply starts the installation process and then launches the installed editor. At the same time, not a shortcut on the desktop, not in the start menu, not an executable in Program Files, not "Open file with"! In short, if you close it after installation, then you can simply not find it later. The second time the installer doesn't work, it just doesn't start ignoring the user.
I could find it only by hanging process. It turns out everything is hanging out in AppData: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.0.0
Okay, I installed shortcuts, file associations, etc... Update 1.0.2 was released and, of course, the folder with the executable was renamed to app-1.0.2 and all connections with it were lost.
This is fine? Is this a major release?
By the way, with the removal of Atom, too, everything is fine, just accidentally click on it in the "Remove and change programs" and it is no longer there. Hello not yet...

Answer 1

The atom installer does not offer installation paths.
There are cases when, after installation, the program does not appear in the start menu.
Alternatively, you can download the latest atom zip file from github and unzip it to a convenient location:
https://github.com/atom/atom/releases
Find Atom.exe in the unpacked Atom folder and run it.

Answer 2

It is important to understand that Atom is not a complete IDE like Netbeans or PhpStorm for example. It is a simple text editor with advanced features that you can customize to suit your needs.
Installation on Windows 7 is easy - download the installer from the off-site and run it. No special settings need to be made except for specifying the installation path.
