I want to write C++ using Atom, so I assume that it is sensible to install the autocomplete-clang package. But when I attempt to install that package I see this error:
I don’t have Git installed on my computer. Must I have Git in order to use Atom?
Yes you should if you want to install/update packages through the settings view or with apm. You can try to install them manually by downloading the package archive from github and put it into the Atom packages directory but you’ll have to run apm install manually too.
Thanks for your reply. I have now installed Git. Installing the autocomplete-clang package still fails, but now with:

I am working on Window 8 behind a corporate proxy server.
How can I fix this please?
I’m not on windows and doesn’t work behind a proxy so I can offer little help on this matter but maybe this post can help you:
