I want to run the atom text editor from the command line option in Windows.

I am using windows 7. There is an option to just type atom . from the command prompt and the current directory should open up in atom editor.

As I do that it gives me an error atom is not recognised as an internal or external program

How do I fix this?

If Atom is not opening from the command line, try adding it's directory to your system's PATH variable: tutorial. Calling Atom from command line should be the same in Windows 7 as it is in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
