Running a sketch from Atom

1. Download Processing if you don't already have it installed.
2. Install processing-java:

   • Mac OS: Open Processing and install processing-java from the Tools menu:

   • Linux: Add processing-java to your executable search path. This can be done by adding the Processing directory to your PATH environment variable or by adding a symlink to any existing directory within your PATH. The following command should do this on most linux distributions (replace /path/to/processing with the path where processing is installed):

       sudo ln -s /path/to/processing/processing-java /usr/local/bin/
     

   • Windows: Add processing-java to your Command Prompt. This can be done by adding the Processing directory to your PATH environment variable:

     • Open Advanced System Settings either by running sysdm.cpl or searching in Control Panel.
     • Click the Environment Variable button on the Advanced tab.
     • Edit the PATH variable to include the Processing directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Processing-3.1.1\) in either the User variables (for just your account) or System variables (for all users).
