Hydrogen Successfully Installed but Can't Execute on Atom

I am having trouble with executing codes with Hydrogen. I have tried #1538 but had no luck. I am trying to setup Atom on my new Mac hence running into this issue.

  1. Download Atom from
  2. Dragged and dropped the file to Applications
  3. Install all the shell commands : Atom-> Install Shell commands
  4. On terminal :
python3 -m venv new_env
source new_env/bin/activate 
python3 -m pip install ipykernel
python3 -m ipykernel install --user --name new_env
  1. Install Hydrogen

  2. When I try to execute for example import numpy it gives the following error on the side after it prompts to select the virtual env - new_env :

new_env

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/", line 196, in _run_module_as_main

Versions:

  • Python 3.10.2
  • macOS Monterey
  • Atom 1.59
  • Hydrogen 2.16.3
