HowTo: Install nano

GNU nano is an easy to use command line text editor for Unix and Linux operating systems. It includes all the basic functionality you’d expect from a regular text editor, like syntax highlighting, multiple buffers, search and replace with regular expression support, spellchecking, UTF-8 encoding, and more.


Note: There are other text editors that can be used, Nano is a popular one. Some of the HowTo below will use Nano as the editor.

To install:

sudo apt install nano
