Atom Editor Getting Started to Master (ii) installation and management of plugins

In this section we will learn to install and use plugins
Plug-ins are a very important part of atom, and many functions are in the form of plug-ins. For example, the directory tree and settings mentioned in the previous article are implemented by default installed plugins.

To view installed plugins

Open the Settings window ( Cmd+, ), and then switch to the "Packages" tab to see the list of installed plugins
We can see that atom has installed more than 70 plugins by default, and Atom provides a variety of very useful features and functions through these plugins.
You can also see all installed themes in the "Themes" tab of the Setup window (the theme is also a plugin)

Installing plugins

Switch to the "Install" tab in the Settings window
Enter the name of the plugin in the text box prompting for "Search packages"
Click "Packages" or "Themes" to find the plugin or theme that installed Atom

Plugin settings

When the plugin is successfully installed, it will be displayed in the "Packages" tab mentioned above.
You can search for installed plugins by entering the name of the plugin in the "Filter Packages by name" text box on the "Packages" tab.
If the plugin supports manual settings, there will be a button named "Settings" in the list item in which it is located.

Theme Plugins

The topic mentioned above is actually a plugin, you can also install the theme in the "Install" tab page

Once the installation is complete, you can use this topic using the methods mentioned in the previous article.
