Found the solution here: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/issues/1033

It seems installing from console does work, but it doesn't really resolve the issue described above.

I'll leave the ticket open for now and let the you guys decide whether to close it. Thanks.

Glad it works. This looks like a problem with apm.

@pingshunhuangalex Do you want to add a small note to our installation instructions recommending users to install via the command line?

[pingshunhuangalex]

Done. https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/pull/1138

Thanks for investigating.

@lgeiger I also got this error while upgrading to Hydrogen 2.2.0, despite using the command line.

It seems that up to 2.1.1, this package used a folder named ~/.atom/packages/hydrogen, with hydrogen in lower case, while in 2.2.0, it tries to install in ~/.atom/packages/Hydrogen, with Hydrogen in title case. Linux is case sensitive, so these are two different places. I'm guessing that's the issue at play here.

While debugging, I uninstalled hydrogen, and then apm install hydrogen gave the traceback above. After also uninstalling hydrogen-launcher, apm install hydrogen gave a checkmark but then wasn't recognized from Atom.

> apm install hydrogen                
Installing hydrogen to /home/kyle/.atom/packages ✓
> apm install hydrogen-launcher

[lgeiger]

I'm happy to change the name to lower case. This looks like a issue in Atom: https://github.com/atom/settings-view/issues/1018

Though I wonder if we break our publishing if we change the name.

[kylebarron]

First, the installation of Hydrogen worked fine until v2.2.0 (I also updated Atom to 1.23.1 recently, so that could be a compounding issue). Even though the package name had been spelled with a capital H, the installation folder was with a lower case h, and everything worked fine.

I'm definitely not an expert and wouldn't want you to implement a potentially breaking change just on my advice.

In the thread you linked to, icetee said that NPM packages can't have uppercase characters, so maybe that is the issue.

[illpack]

I am getting the same error.
Updated all my packages on Atom 1.23.1 x64 inside Windows 7, Hydrogen was working perfectly.
All packages updated.
Hydrogen failed to install, even from the command line as suggested.

Traceback:

fs.js:640
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);

Any hints?

Thanks,

[kylebarron]

By the way it might help to reopen this issue so you have fewer new issues being created.

I tried apm install hydrogen (lowercase), and it worked.

[illpack]

Looks fixed and working!
Thanks!

[kylebarron]

@lgeiger This still doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04. Removing Hydrogen and then running apm install hydrogen downloads Hydrogen into ~/.atom/packages/Hydrogen, but it isn't found in the command prompt. Even if I rename it to hydrogen and restart Atom, it still doesn't find it.

[tonydero]

@kylebarron Installing with lowercase apm install hydrogen and then restarting Atom got it to work and show in the command palette in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for me.

[kylebarron]

FYI @lgeiger @tonydero this doesn't work again when trying to upgrade to 2.2.1.

My bad, the package name returned to title case (i.e. the package folder in 2.2.0 was ~/.atom/packages/hydrogen, while the package folder in 2.2.1 is ~/.atom/packages/Hydrogen again). After two restarts of Atom the package appeared in the command palette.

Note however that I still received an error when trying to update from inside Atom.

[lgeiger]

As mentioned above this is a upstream issue that will be fixed in the next Atom version: https://github.com/atom/settings-view/issues/1018
