I am running Ubuntu 15.10. After downloading the Atom editor, I can not find where exactly on my system it is installed. I tried running which atom /usr/bin/atom
However, after navigating to the /bin directory, I can only find a text file named Atom with some code in it, and not the actual application.
I need the application file because I want to select it in my web browser so that I can open files directly into Atom, without saving them into my computer. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The file atom in /usr/bin is the shell script which launches the atom binary file.
