APM Downloads Dependencies

Installation

Once you've installed Atom and apm, install packages-txt by running the following command:

apm install packages-txt

You may also install packages-txt using Atom's GUI:

  1. Launch Atom.
  2. Open the Preferences pane using Cmd + , on macOS or Ctrl + , on other platforms.
  3. Select "Install" from the left column.
  4. Enter "packages-txt" in the search box.
  5. Click the "Install" button next to the appropriate search result.

Usage

At any time, you can export a list of installed packages by selecting "Export Installed Packages" in packages-txt's menu item (nestled underneath Atom's "Packages" menu item). This action is also available in Atom's command palette.

By default, packages-txt will export a file named packages.txt to the .atom folder (which itself is typically in your user's home directory). You can override this behavior by adjusting the Exported File Path option in packages-txt's settings:

  1. Launch Atom.
  2. Open the Preferences pane using Cmd + , on macOS or Ctrl + , on other platforms.
  3. Select "Packages" from the left column.
  4. Click "Settings" within the packages-txt entry.
  5. Enter a valid absolute file path in the "Exported File Path" text field.

Using packages.txt

After exporting installed packages to a file (e.g. ~/.atom/packages.txt), you may bulk install Atom packages by running the following command:

apm install --packages-file ~/.atom/packages.txt

This command is most helpful when configuring Atom on a new computer.
