I am experiencing the same issue. I have, using a command prompt on windows 10 after adding python34 to my %PATH%, imported pip.

After importing pip I have installed flake8 using the command in command prompt “python34 -m pip install flake8”

After installing flake8 I installed the linter-base through the atom program, not by using “$APM Install linter-flake8” as I have no clue where I would even input that.

I have gone through and tried checking my executable path for flake8 in atom, but I have no clue where or how I would find the path. If someone could give some explanation as to how to get it to work, in which program, command line, terminal, AND CODING LANGUAGE to install it, that would be great. So instead of saying “type in $apm install linter-flake8” explain WHERE YOU WOULD TYPE IT. Everything I’ve found on how to install just says the above, and is not helpful in the slightest.
