     | The term 'pulsar\resources\app\ppm\bin\apm.cmd' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
     | executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
     | again.
Can't shim 'pulsar\resources\app\ppm\bin\apm.cmd': File doesn't exist.

Steps to Reproduce

Try `scoop install pulsar` or `scoop update pulsar`

Possible Solution

apm was the "Atom package Manager". As pulsar is a fork of pulsar, the script name stayed apm.cmd for some time, although the directory name already switched to ppm.
pulsar\resources\app\ppm\bin\apm.cmd
should be
pulsar\resources\app\ppm\bin\ppm.cmd now.
