How do I run Atom and Ubuntu WSL - I am getting an error

I am trying to run Atom editor in ubuntu.

I installed ubuntu then node.js. Both seem to work fine. Then I followed the instructions on this site for installing Atom: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-atom-text-editor-on-ubuntu-20-04/

My version of ubuntu is 20.04

When I then type "atom" in ubuntu I get the following:

ro@PC:~$ atomexpr: syntax error: missing argument after ‘8’ro@PC:~$ /usr/bin/atom: line 195:    89 Segmentation fault      nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1

This is what is in my .atom folder:

ro@PC:~/.atom$ lltotal 8drwxr-xr-x 2 ro ro 4096 Apr 25 09:52 ./drwxr-xr-x 9 ro ro 4096 Apr 25 09:52 ../-rw-r--r-- 1 ro ro    0 Apr 25 11:52 nohup.out

I have no idea what I am doing wrong as I am new to linux

Assistance would be appreciated Thank you
