Error installing hydrogen for Atom

[Achu]

Was trying to install hydrogen for Atom when I got this error. Tried it with every available version of ZMQ and no luck. Anyone know why?

Installing hydrogen to C:\Users\achug\.atom\packages failed

I have experienced this too.  Hydrogen has never been a load-and-go proposition for Julia on Windows.  Before this, there were other hang-ups and some have had their roots in something an earlier release of Atom on Win was doing or not doing.  I have downloaded a version of Juno/LT that works on Win7.  It is less of an advanced editor today, but it coordinates easily with Julia for type/eval/edit/eval/save.

That's unfortunate. I was excited about hydrogen.

I had this exact same problem.  What fixed it for me was using the nuclear option to force everything in the build to use python 2.7:  I temporarily removed 3.5 from my path and replaced it with 2.7.  

I had previously tried setting the PYTHON environment variable to the 2.7 executable and telling npm to use 2.7, but had no luck.  

I've since restored 3.5 to my path, and can launch and use Hydrogen successfully.  It's pretty magical.
