How to use nano, a commandline text editor
Saturday, March 15th, 2008
Nano is another text editor for linux in the command line. In fact nano stands for ( Nano’s ANOther editor). It is an enhanced clone of the pico text editor. Unlike vi and vim, there aren’t as many cryptic ways to navigate through nano. The downside though is that nano will not run off a floppy disc like vi. Nano comes preinstalled with Debian and Ubuntu, but we must install it from the repo’s for Suse and Fedora.
- On Suse as root: zypper in nano
- On Fedora as root: yum install nano
