Atom editor and Perforce integration on Linux (Mac)

Atom for editing, Perforce for version control

Atom is a really cool text editor developed by GitHub. It is modern, lightweight, fast, provides it's own package manager and tons of packages/plugins as well. Though, if you are using Perforce for version control, things may get a bit bitter.

This short post provides an easy and elegant fix for integrating Atom with Perforce on a Linux (Mac) machine. It solves the problem when the atom-perforce package is unable to pick the right p4 client.
