The download is only available for Mac today, but we are working on the Linux and Windows builds.


EAGERLY awaiting that Windows build. And if I can't get a Windows build, I'm going to go out and buy a Macbook Pro just to use this IDE.


Why do you choose to use Windows today?


Cheaper hardware, Steam (and other games in general), testing on the platform used by a majority of our users, and more customization available than OS X, for starters.


“testing on the platform used by a majority of our users”

This.


I think that's also why patio11 doesn't use a Mac, If If Guess Correctly.


Why would you not


Because I'm a gamer.


gotcha, cool


dat troll


purposefully tried to say it in a way that wouldn't seem like I was trolling. Alas, this comment came up anyway.


Any chance for ChromeOS support?


It's most likely not possible until there's a "hosted atom" you connect to with your browser. ChromeOS is /just/ a web browser and won't run node, which Atom uses to do its processing.


It will depend on which node features/packages are essential, but it could probably be hacked together (possibly entirely using Atom's modular design, e.g. replace the standard file IO parts with browser-friendly ones like LocalStorage and the HTML5 File API).

ChromeOS (rather, Chromebooks) can run more-featured Linux distros like Ubuntu, ArchLinux.


The OP asked for ChromeOS support, not Chromebook


@Downvoters: Please do your homework[0] before downvoting. If you genuinely think my comment deserved downvotes, at least afford me the courtesy of an explanation.

You can make offline apps for ChromeOS/Chrome


You can make offline webapps for ChromeOS. Node will not run on ChromeOS.


Putting in my +1 for a ChromeOS option.


That... would be interesting.


Linux, please!


looking forward to b a linux build


Linux and Windows builds?? WHEN?? this month??


I think we should start a new line of thought in the development community - linux first. :(


Windows +1. Staring the words 'coming soon', I'm like HOW SOON IS IT!!


I hope you will not want administrative rights to install the program.


I hope it can available on windous builds.


A Chrome wepbapp would be great!


Linux Build??....waiting for it


sources are released? i guess making own linux build would be faster :D


Linux +1


I want to try it!
