I guess we can delete the note about python3/python2/python just below that.
The note is a bit out of place now that we don't tell people to go out of their way to install Python anymore.
I think the expectation is that anyone on a graphical Ubuntu desktop has Python 3 at this point. (Bionic is the oldest supported Ubuntu, and it has Python 3.6, which is new enough. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3)
Alternatively, add a bit more info to the note: "You'll want to have a copy of Python for installing certain Atom packages. And a working gcc+g++ or clang compiler installed as well."

@mfonville my bad. I didn't drill down to the failure. I have re-run the failing step and it's all good. |
