How to download it?. It's a zip file. How to import it to atom?

@aerospace-briefcase

apm install terminus

Pls uninstall platfomio-ide-terminal or disable it so it doesn't conflict with terminus, do not run them both at same time.

[monishabtechit97]

I also faced the same problem. I tried everything what is above said...The only solution for this is to uninstall your atom and all the folders from the directory ..for eg. .atom folder from your c drive. Again install atom and then install package platformio-ide terminal. It works for me.

[UziTech]

This package is no longer maintained. Please uninstall platformio-ide-terminal and install either terminus or x-terminal

[the-j0k3r]

@ivankravets should archive the repo like he said before but there must be some interest on his part to want to keep this repo alive with 0 support.

Since he no longer replies to any emails or attempts of contact regarding this package the only alternative is to speculate which is what the assumption above is.

[ivankravets]

The latest version of platformio-ide-terminal should work on any machine.

@UziTech, @UziTech we don't promote this extension and don't force people to use it. We don't make money on it. The main reason why do we keep it active is https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide that depends on platformio-ide-terminal. There is a small number of people who still use Atom for PlatformIO.

[the-j0k3r]

None makes money on any of these, I dont, in fact it costs me time (which is money) trying to steer ppl to supported projects, at least we provide ongoing support and bug fixes and I believe compatibility with Atom for PlatformIO.

Ppl alas will go for the extension with most downloads, which means nothing for how it works with current/future Atom.

. There is a small number of people who still use Atom for PlatformIO.

At some stage since you dont actually fix bugs or provide support, you either have to care about those users to use supported projects or contribute code to said projects that will make it compatible with PlatformIO , if there is some special functionality that was left off from the fork/ js conversion. Even you yourself dont care about Atom as an editor.

Its always going to be a weird proposition, but currently its just frustrating to all involved.

thx for reply.

[UziTech]

We don't promote this extension and don't force people to use it.

The problem is that you don't let people know that you won't fix bugs (or even respond to issues) in a timely manor (or at all). x-terminal does provide the platformioIDETerminal service and it wouldn't be hard to add it to terminus since it is a fork of this extension.

We don't make money on it.

None of us get paid for this either but it doesn't take a lot of work to archive a repo, or put a message on the readme saying it is no longer maintained. I could even create a PR for the readme message and all you have to do is click a button.

[ivankravets]

Thanks. We will test x-terminal if it works with PlatformIO IDE. In any case, it looks like Atom has died:

• https://github.com/atom/atom/commits/master
• https://github.com/atom/atom/releases (1 maintenance release in 3 months)

[UziTech]

it looks like Atom has died

I would say just based on how many people post issues to this repo Atom is not dead. It is not as popular as VS Code but is very much alive. And, for me at least, it works much better than VS Code.

P.S. the last commit from your link was 44 minutes ago, so I don't see how that can be considered dead. Based on your logic it looks like platformio-core has died

[the-j0k3r]

it looks like Atom has died:

How can active and ongoing development (hours since last commits) be considered or mistaken as a dead project I wouldn't know, care to explain rationale?

Release schedule intervals also no indicator of death to any project, most popular large projects release every 6 months or some even once a year.

Terminus is a direct fork of this project at 2.1.0 and supports everything this project supports, backwards compatibility with foreign services has to be justified though, edge cases for a minority of users can be accommodated as long as all over the sudden we aren't providing support for 3rd party addons.

@uzitech, to archive a repo, all issues have to be closed, I can do that and assist @ivankravets since I do have access to this repo as a contributor and I did use to manage the issue tracker after support/dev was abandoned by the owner.
The only reason I haven't done so, is because the project owner stopped responding to contact attempts regarding archival of the repo which was what @ivankravets said he wanted to do.

However archiving repo, solves nothing, as long as the project is available for direct installation via Atom,

Readme additions will solve nothing because regular end users (the majority) dont read anything.
