Error: pyenv: flake8: command not found

Hi. I was trying using linter-flake8 in El Capitan(10.11.1) and encountered the following error. I personaly use pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv and pyenv-2.7.10 in the error is the name of the environment.

Error: pyenv: flake8: command not found

The `flake8' command exists in these Python versions: 2.7.10/envs/pyenv-2.7.10 pyenv-2.7.10

A bit late to provide some help other that find themselves in the same situation, but if you’re using pyenv, don’t bother trying to configure the path of the plugin or even opening Atom from inside the project, just install flake8 in the “global” python that you will use in the same virtualenv and it will work just fine. Just don’t ask me why… never got the “shim” clearly.

Just to make sure you are launching Atom from the proper environment, follow these steps:

1. Close all instances of Atom
2. Open a terminal
3. Activate any necessary virtualenv
4. Verify that flake8 works from this terminal
5. Launch Atom from this location with atom .
