  The error message you received, indicates Atom is required, which means the package you are trying to install has a GUI. That isn't going to be supported by WSl out of the box. In other words, you are not going to be able to install any package, that requires Atom.

The error you're getting is because "atom" isn't part of the default packages, but WSL does not support graphical applications like Atom so it would never work anyway.

I would recommend installing it for Windows which is available from their website atom.io.

To make sure a package is actually in the package system you can use apt search <whatever> or for a simpler output apt-cache search <whatever>.

NOTE: Do not do the following, but for completeness sake I'll add how to actually install it:

You need to add the atom repository with the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/atom

After that you can install it by first updating the search cache with apt-get update and then installing the package with apt-get install atom.
