Manual package install in atom
I was having problems installing atom packages at work (on a Windows 7 machine) and I really wanted to have syntax highlighting in my React project. Turns out it's really simple to manually install a package. Download the package you want. It's probably in GitHub. I wanted the Atom React Package. Extract the zip file and put it in the packages folder. You can find this folder from the install packages screen: Open a command window in the folder you just put in the packages directory. Run apm link Restart Atom and you're done .
