How can I setup Atom for C and python programming ? (On Pop OS)

[Justaphysicsnerd]

I want to use Atom as my IDE. I know its not, but I have heard that you can set it up with the gcc compiler to act like an IDE, but since I am new to POP OS and linux in general I don't know how to do so. I used to use VS Community edition on windows but then I moved to Pop OS and am on the lookout for an IDE or an Editor + Compiler setup.

It's mostly just a matter of installing the correct extensions. Just look for "C" in the extensions browser. If you don't have gcc you'll have to install it; in ubuntu derivatives it should be part of the build-essential metapackage:

sudo apt install build-essential

double check that it's installed:

gcc --version

gcc --version returns the following (so its installed I guess ?)

I have installed this package but when I hit f5 I am not able to run any programs. I even tried right click then compile and run, I have set the terminal to GNOME Terminal

Are you getting any errors? Maybe there's just a problem with your code... it seems like the program is being compiled since there are binaries in your folder.
