I'm trying to run a c++ program in Atom. I installed the gpp-compiler package, and it's running my program when I press F5.

It's outputting to XTerm (linux terminal). How can I make it output to the normal Terminal.
When there is an error in the program, the errors are just popping up for 5 seconds, and then fading away, can I make it so they appear in the terminal?

So I changed 'XTerm' to 'GNOME Terminal' but now the terminal isn't staying open long enough to observe the output.

I don't want to just open the terminal from Atom, I want to be able to press a button, and have it compile and run my C++ code. That's the entire purpose of the gpp-compiler package.

Not an expert but you can add a command to accept a key entry in your code to delay the terminal. – George Udosen Mar 17 '17 at 16:07
What's a "gpp-compiler"? – David Foerster Mar 25 '17 at 10:50
@David, you can download that package for atom. It allows you to compile and run c++ programs from directly within Atom. – Rockstar5645 Mar 25 '17 at 15:35
Ah, that clears it up. It would be good to distinguish between Atom packages and Debian/Ubuntu packages. – David Foerster Mar 25 '17 at 15:43
