I can't either, different output

Hello, I've encountered the same error just now and here's how I fixed it:

Note: You may have noticed that apm is extracting "/Users/mairan/.atom/.apm/fs/0.0.0/package.tgz" . Try to take a look at this path and check if the directory 0.0.0 exists. If you have updated your atom to the latest, you won't see that folder, hence, the error:

npm ERR! Error extracting /Users/mairan/.atom/.apm/fs/0.0.0/package.tgz archive: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/mairan/.atom/.apm/fs/0.0.0/package.tgz

What you'll see there is the directory named 0.0.x where x is the incremental value of the version.

Duplicate the whole 0.0.x directory and rename it to 0.0.0.

Try installing external-open again.

Hope this helps!

Oh, and don't forget to delete the 0.0.0 directory after the installation. Not sure, but it may cause problems.

@ickyrr that worked, sadly the plugin doesn't has so many issues I won't take time now to write them all now.

@sveale, any update on this? Still seems to be an issue.
