Ubuntu: impossible to install packages

[nico-tse226]

Hello,
I am a beginner here, I have just installed Atom 1.56 on Ubuntu 20.04 (downloaded from atom website using the .deb file)

I try installing a package called language-stata, but cannot make it.
I work from home, so should not be using a proxy, and I already tried dealing with a firewall using
`apm config set strict-ssl false``

When I type apm config , I get this

npm ERR! Usage: npm ERR! npm config set <key> <value> npm ERR! npm config get [<key>] npm ERR! npm config delete <key> npm ERR! npm config list [--json] npm ERR! npm config edit npm ERR! npm set <key> <value> npm ERR! npm get [<key>] npm ERR! npm ERR! alias: c npm config failed: 1
Many thanks for your help (and patience :-) )

Are you able to install Atom 1.55?

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed Atom 1.55 as you suggested (using the .deb from Github website) but the problem is still there.
I also tried installing Atom 1.56 with the snap and with the official package repository).

Whenever I want to install a package, I alway get the ETIMEDOUT message. Using atom --safe or the terminal provide the same result, I have no more ideas ....

I have Atom 1.56 install via snap on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS X86 X64 and I was able to install atom packages successfully without any errors. I was not able to reproduce the error posted earlier.
