Atom editor fails installing packages
I'm trying to install packages in Atom editor, but it always fails, just like if I coudn't get a connexion to the server.
For instance, apm install split-diff returns Request for package information failed: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND atom.io atom.io:443 (ENOTFOUND)
I'm running Atom 1.32.2 on Linux Mint 19.
I don't use a proxy.

I just installed split-diff and it loaded fine. Open Atom and under the Atom menu item select Preferences. This opens a new window and on the left side of the pane is a row of actions starting with Core and followed by Editor, URI Handling, and 5 other actions. Click on the Install action. This is where you can find and install extensions. Once you clicked on Install, the pane changes and there is a search box at the top. In the search box type split-diff and the name of your extension should appear. There should be a blue install button for the script. Click install and it should work.

Thanks for your reply, jmh. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way either. The process you describe is actually the first thing that I tried, and I believe under the wood it just runs the same command that I was mentioning. It also returns the same error message.
