Formerly, I was using atom installed from the Ubuntu official repos. I could easily open a project (folder) typing atom .
I recently have installed it using the snap package that Ubuntu provides. Everything looks fine, except for if I try to launch it as I used to do it I get the following error:
> $ atom .
No command 'atom' found, did you mean:
Command 'atrm' from package 'at' (main)
Command 'atop' from package 'atop' (universe)
Command 'atoms' from package 'horae' (multiverse)
Command 'atom4' from package 'atom4' (universe)
Command 'atobm' from package 'x11-apps' (main)
zsh: command not found: atom
However, I can launch it normally from the unity launcher.
This is Ubuntu 16.04 and Unity as DE.

You may launch atom by the following command:
snap run atom
In order to launch it using the shorter command atom, you can set this alias:
alias atom='snap run atom'
and write it into your .bashrc or .zshrc file, so every new terminal instance has it automatically set.
