As of this writing, the best option to upgrade to the latest released version of Atom is to check out the most recent tag and build it, especially if you built it in the first place.

1. cd atom
2. git pull
3. git checkout v0.115.0 (or whatever the latest release is: https://github.com/atom/atom/releases)
4. script/build
5. sudo script/grunt install
