For 0.211.0
when behind a proxy.
# Windows temporary:
set ATOM_NODE_URL=http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist
# Windows permanently:
setx ATOM_NODE_URL http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist /M
# Linux
export ATOM_NODE_URL=http://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist
I also found even on the version
1.3.0
I had to set the proxy manually invi ~/.atom/.apmrc
add line:proxy = http://localhost:9999
