It seems that OSX has a lot of different safe measures which don't cooperate nicely with atom environment.
For optimal behaviour always start atom from commandline instead of Finder.
Failed to spawn command elixir. Make sure elixir is installed and in your PATH
Let me guess. You're using OSX. This happens when starting atom from Finder. Finder-started applications have no access to PATH variable. To go around that make sure to set "Elixir Path" in package configuration to Your absolute elixir executable path or start atom from command line instead.
Good catch. Let us know what about this package looks wrong to you, and we'll investigate right away.
