How to install and use remote-atom

Installation

  1. Install Atom on your computer (https://atom.io)

  2. Launch Atom, go in Preferences, then chose Install, search for "remote-atom", and install it

  3. On the distant machine:

    cd ~
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
    chmod +x rmate

How to use it

  1. Launch Atom on your computer
