By default, Atom does not run code. It would be helpful to know which package you use to run code. — idleberg

Sounds like when you installed python you might not have checked the box to install an environment variable. This means you can uninstall python and recheck the box if python 3.5 or greater. Similarly if you can't do that then it means manually go into your System properties and add a python path go to environment variables and add the python path.

If you still aren't sure I would recommend uninstalling python or adding it to your path( "Edit the System Environment Variables" -> Click Environment Variables -> then in the path section edit the path to include the python path) Once this is done I would reccomend in atom to go to Packages-> Command Palette-> Toggle. Once there search View install packages and themes. Once in their type and install Script and install it. Now type ctrl+shift+b and you should be able to run the program
