+# Find the config folder
+To access the config folder simply open the Settings `[Ctrl] + [,]` and click on the last item under the menu: "Open Config Folder".

+
+# Save / Reinstall the packages
+I created the "package-file.list" file following the instructions of [this stackoverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30006827/how-to-save-atom-editor-config-and-list-of-packages-installed).
+
+Open a terminal and `cd` into the config folder.  
+**Backup**: `apm list --installed --bare > package-file.list`  
+**Restore**: `apm install --packages-file package-file.list`
