@mangeshPSL This error does not appear to be coming from npm.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

I think nodejs is not updated, so its trying to download http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.40/node-v0.10.40-linux-ppc64.tar.gz which is invalid link

[jbergstroem]

@mangeshPSL this issue doesn't belong here. Perhaps at the atom repo? Additionally, we don't have binary releases for ppc just yet.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

ok but so if i try to clone the atom source code it will fail on my ppc machine

[jbergstroem]

@mangeshPSL thats my point. You already have an open issue about having problems building node.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

ok thanks @jbergstroem but you have any idea till when atom.io will be available on ppc

[Fishrock123]

you have any idea till when atom.io will be available on ppc

None. https://github.com/atom/atom wouldn't support ppc yet because we barely do. Maybe in a couple months? I don't know.

Moving to #4304 since this part isn't actually in our hands.

[jbergstroem]

The ppc release point is in our hands; it's something that the build group has been working on a while. Don't expect it to be backported to older release branches though.
