Ok, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and there are in fact some issues. After installing spark-dev
package go to terminal and type:
$ cd ~/.atom/packages/spark-dev
$ npm install nopt
$ rm -rf node_modules/serialport
$ export ATOM_NODE_VERSION=0.22.3
$ apm install .
$ apm install tool-bar
$ apm rebuild-module-cache
Go to Atom, hit Cmd+Shift+P
, type cache
and select Incompatible Packages: Reload Atom And Recheck Packages
. You should see Particle menu now
