Solution is to use Node Version Manager (nvm) which helps manage multiple version of node versions. $ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash To see the list of all available nvm versions, $ nvm ls-remote Currently, Node v6.11.1 has the long term support (Latest LTS: Boron). We will setup that first version $ nvm install 6.11 The above command will install Node.js version 6.11.x (where x will be the last available version number) To find where the node version is installed, type $ nvm which 6.11 As of this writing, the latest version available is v8.1.4 $ nvm install 8.1.4 When nvm installs the corresponding npm package also gets installed. You can switch between different versions of the node by typing $ nvm use 6.11.1 or $ nvm use 8.1.4 To list all the available versions of installed node versions, type $ nvm ls

When Atom editor is installed, it creates a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin folder. Get the new folder path where atom editor installable file resides and run the following command in the terminal $ ln -s /NewFolder/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/atom.sh /usr/local/bin/atom If a link is already created for the atom editor, then you need to remove the existing symbolic link before creating a new one $ unlink AtomSymbolicLink (OR) $ rm AtomSymbolicLink

When atom installs, it sets up a symbolic link to the location where it is installed. You can open a file or folder in atom by using the following commands a) Open the editor $ atom b) Open a file $ atom index.html c) Open atom in the current folder $ atom .
