Can I start atom from my ubuntu on windows terminal?

I have been following this class which has instructed me to open atom through my ubuntu terminal with the command "atom ." but it prints "command not found"

I know now that the ubuntu system and windows system run independently of each other, but still have no clue how to make it work.Here is the error

No command 'atom' found, did you mean:
 Command 'atrm' from package 'at' (main)
 Command 'atoms' from package 'horae' (multiverse)
 Command 'atom4' from package 'atom4' (universe)
 Command 'atobm' from package 'x11-apps' (main)
 Command 'atop' from package 'atop' (universe)
atom: command not found

Another way is, to try the following command

snap run atom

If the above command works for you, you can make an alias

alias atom='snap run atom'

Install again if you have to (there is no hurt in doing so).

Try this link: atom install.

In summary, this is what the link says to do. (When executing these commands in your terminal, look to see if you get any output back. Observe if the terminal spits out errors.)

First in a terminal copy and paste the below then hit enter:

wget -qO - https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -

Then copy and paste the below into a term and hit enter:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/any/ any main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atom.list'

Then this:

sudo apt-get update

Then:

sudo apt-get install atom

Finally, see if you are able to open atom:

atom .
