Setting up elm-format in Atom

[sohilpandya]

Do we have a Gitter channel for this repo? would love to ask a couple of setup questions in it. 😄

help-wanted question 👍

@sohilpandya If you ask them in github, then everyone who finds this repo in future can refer to them! :blush:

Thanks, @iteles.

Trying to setup elm-format for the tutorial by Richard Feldman

came across an issue where my atom says the following when I try to beautify it: Could not find 'elm format'. The program may not be installed

I was going to post it on the issue below but wanted to check if anyone else had come across a similar issue setting up elm-format. 😟 https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/issues/212

which elm-format does not return the path for me. 😢

@sohilpandya I understand the urge to create a dedicated channel for this learning... 🤔 If you haven't already joined the Elm-lang Slack, I'd urge you to do so because they are very welcoming and if you have a "noob" question people are really helpful! But as @iteles says, asking questions in issues is way better for helping others learn what you discovered (full-text-search/SEO is such a win!)

Hey @sohilpandya, I bet you have already sorted this out but there are great instructions for setting up Elm (including Elm Format) here: https://github.com/knowthen/elm/blob/master/DEVSETUP.md (steps 8-11)
