I'm trying to get some success with this: https://github.com/rokudev/atomio-package It is described here : https://devtools.web.roku.com/roku-advanced-layout-editor/

It's the official atom package - it promises to be really good. However ,there's a few things stopping me from using it, or hacking it to improve it:

1. It doesn't navigate - I mean, it's _totally dumb_ if I have a method definition in the same file, even, it simply won't let me jump to it. I've tried installing ctags, and everything - no joy.
2. despite what the description shows on https://devtools.web.roku.com/roku-advanced-layout-editor/ - it doesn't seem to have deploy/edit behaviour

I presume some of you are using this. What am I doing wrong?

I use Atom IO and out of curiosity I just tried to run that RALE app and it doesn't even load, it just crashes, at least on High Sierra. 
Now as to your question... if you open Atom and under the Atom contextual menu, select preferences which opens the settings. You will see packages in the new window, select it and do a search for ROKU. You will see a Roku Deploy and also a Roku Develop as results, install both. Once installed under Atom Packages contextual menu you will see both apps and if you look under the Tree View and select Focus and/or Toggle you will see all the predefined codes show up as you type. You need to also make sure under the settings, after installing the Roku deploy, that you enter your developers login info for the Roku you are side loading the app to. To deploy it, simply right click on any of your non image files in your app and under Roku-deploy you will see the option to deploy it to selected device or devices.
