How to install C# language support in Atom

Question

I've just started using https://atom.io/ on OSX

If I open a C# file it doesn't syntax highlight.

I've found https://github.com/atom/language-csharp

Do I just clone that and copy it into /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules ?

Answer 1

Go into preferences -> Packages and type 'CSharp'

I've used Lisp in the picture as I already installed CSharp so it won't show up any more.

Answer 2

If you've installed the command line utilities, you can also "apm install language-csharp" from the command line.

Answer 3

Omnisharp is recommended for C# support in Atom. Here's the package installation commands from their page.

apm install language-csharp
apm install autocomplete-plus
apm install omnisharp-atom

https://atom.io/packages/omnisharp-atom

Answer 4

This was added to the core packages in February 2015, so if you're running the latest version of Atom it should be already installed.

Answer 5

1. File > Settings > Install
   (Or on MacOS: Atom > Preferences > Install)
2. Search for "language-csharp"
