https://atom.io/packages/hex gives a 404?

[didibus]

This package doesn't seem to show up in Atom anymore, and if you go to https://atom.io/packages/hex, it says 404 page not found.

The result of apm install hex

Installing hex to C:\Users\Tom\.atom\packages failed
Request for package information failed: Not Found

fyi, you can manually install the package:

1. Download the rep
2. extract it to ~/.atom/packages
3. open a console in atom-hex folder, and npm install
4. restart atom?
5. ...
6. profit!

@pondidum Nice fix, I would like to know why the package was removed in the first place though

Does it mean this package is not maintained anymore ? Thanks for the job guys.

Looks like the package doesn't work with atom 1.25.0. I see blank screen instead of hex-view.

Maybe somebody know alternatives? Or maybe maintainable forks?

Atom Version 1.32.0 dose not work. I modified filePath in lib/hex.coffe line 25 to

createView = ->
  editor = atom.workspace.getActivePaneItem()
  file = editor?.buffer.file
  filePath = file?.path
  if editor and fs.isFileSync(filePath)
