Ubuntu Linux - Nano Editor in Terminal

Linux has plenty of editors that can be used in the terminal. And all the operation that you can do for the file editing is possible with those. For example, you can do the editing using the vim, emacs and the nano editor.

I have recently tried to work with the nano editor in the terminal for minor level of editing.

If you want to install the nano editor in the debian and the ubuntu linux. You can check out the editor in the terminal.

So here's the install command that you can check out for the nano editor.

sudo apt install nano

And now once you install you can make use of the command.

nano

You can check out the output that looks something like this.

Learning how to edit the files through terminal comes in handy when you are having issues with the window manager or you have other issues with the GUI editor.

I loved how the nano editor works with simple commands and also editing, exiting and writing is working pretty smooth and easy as well.

I hope you found the value in the nano editor. Do let me know what's your experience with the nano editor in the terminal. Do let me know your experience in the comments.
