Getting File Icons

apm, npm is not recognized

If you recieve the following error when installing atom-discord do the following:

'apm (or npm)' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Find your Atom Install Directory usually located at (%appdata%/../Local/atom/YOUR-VERSION/resources/app/apm/bin/apm.cmd).and instead of running the apm command, link the full directory instead!

Example:

  C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.28.0\resources\app\apm\bin\apm.cmd install atom-discord
  C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.28.0\resources\app\apm\bin\npm.cmd install

You can execute the command by changing 'apm' to whole path of apm.cmd, 'npm' to path of npm.cmd

Not Showing

If you rich presence isn't showing in discord, make sure you have got Atom-Editor added as a program, and if that doesnt work try installing from the source code, and if that doesn't work, try the following:

Open the terminal by using Ctrl + R and type the following:

apm uninstall atom-discord

Then, reinstall atom-discord from the source code

And, if that doesn't work, you can try quitting Atom via Task Manager or cmd + q

Notes for Ubuntu users

There are a known bug that discord installed from snap / software center doesn't show rich presence.

If you're using ubuntu, installed discord from snap and rich presence isn't showing, please check you've turned on the Ubuntu 18.04 fix option. After turning the option and restarting atom, and if the problem still exists, please follow these steps.

  • sudo snap remove vscode discord
  • download the .deb files from the official websites
  • install the .deb files using the sudo dpkg -i package.dpkg command
  • DO NOT USE UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER, AS IT USES SNAP.

If you're still running into trouble, please ask for help in our support server!
