Ink activation in atom

[davidzentlermunro]

I raised this in a previous thread, though that has been closed so trying a new one:

I got similar issues after installing an ink update. I tried uninstalling juno and julia and reinstalling, and now get the following error when julia automatically tries to install ink (atom tells me I have installed v0.6.2 of ink, v0.5.11 of julia and v0.1.1 of uber-juno):

Does this only happen on installation or always when you start Atom? Also, are you running the latest version of Atom?

[davidzentlermunro]

Always when I start Atom. I'm running v1,8.0 of atom.

[pfitzseb]

I'd recommend updating then -- current version is 1.12.9.

[davidzentlermunro]

thanks. I note atom should auto-update (I'm using on windows) but that doesn't seem to have happened. Would you recommend uninstalling and redownloading? In package settings, it says everything is up-to-date.

[pfitzseb]

If Help > Check for Update doesn't suggest the update, then yes, I'd download the latest version from atom.io and install that (afaik you don't need to uninstall first).

[davidzentlermunro]

Help does not have a Check for Update option in my version, so I'll try downloading and let you know how it goes with ink (unfortunately I need to get my network administrator to install the new version).

[davidzentlermunro]

Thanks that update has done the trick

[pfitzseb]

Sweet, glad you got that sorted! :)
