Can't find the elm-format binary

[maochaokuo]

hi there:

I installed for Atom by

1. npm install -g elm-format
2. apm install elm-format
3. UI, setting, package manager

all get the error: Can't find the elm-format binary.
Check the "elm-format" package settings page

Can you run elm-format from the CLI?

[maochaokuo]

No, I cannot. I use Windows 10.
How could I do that? or is there anything else to download?

[benjick]

Try downloading it manually from https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/releases and putting it into your path

Greate!

Greate! Greate! Greate!

Why don't you describe it? This is not hard at all. It just... never occur to me, that it behaves this way. I thought elm-format is like a library or something embedded in these supported editor. I thought there will be one plugin for each individual editor.

It's linked in the readme but you're right, it could be made more obvious
