Hi, it appears to be hanging up when downloading through brew cask, so I tested using 'Download Zip' button in the browser from this page and that is hanging up half way through too. Post holiday glitch I'm sure? K.

Hi, I am trying to install and I am receiving this error:

kylecorcoran@Kyles-MBP-2 Desktop % brew tap caskroom/cask
Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.

brew cask install atom alone seems to work for me

brew tap caskroom/cask leads to the error message posted by kylece123 above

Agreed @path-doc
Thanks for the info

Below worked for me

brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install atom

For me instead:

brew install atom --cask
