Installing Shell Commands in Atom on macOS returns error and fails

Question

I wanted to install shell commands on my MacBook Air 2017 (macOS: 10.15.3) in Atom. It asks for my root password and then returns an error in Atom:

Failed to install shell commands
mkdir failed with exit status 1

How do I fix this and install shell commands? When I try which atom in Terminal, it returns with atom not found

Answer 1

Can you provide more information? What command have you used ( mkdir )? Is that directory already exists? Have you installed atom command?
