Installation

Atom provides a built-in way to download and install packages, but for local development, you'll want to do it this way.

1. Clone this repo.
2. Make sure you have apm installed.
   • On Mac, you might need to start Atom and go to Atom > Install Shell Commands.
   • On Windows, it's probably already there.
3. Open your terminal, navigate into the repo directory, then run apm link.
4. Back in Atom, you should now see atom-autocomplete-boilerplate installed.
   • On Mac, you'll find it under Atom > Preferences... > Packages > Community Packages.
   • On Windows, you'll find it under File > Settings > Packages > Community Packages.

Don't forget to reload Atom when you make changes!

• On Mac, hit ctrl + option + command + L.
• On Windows, hit ctrl + shift + F5.
