6. Paste the path into "The elm-oracle executable path" setting

Atom's native symbol-view package uses ctags, and thus doesn't support Elm without extra configuration. But this pluginhttps://atom.io/packages/goto uses langauge definition files to identify symbols, and does support Elm as long as atom-elm is installed.
