Nano is a powerful and easy-to-use text editor that comes preinstalled with many Linux distributions. However, if it's not installed on your Debian latest distribution, you can easily install it by following these simple steps:
Before installing Nano, let's make sure that our package list is up to date by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Now that our package list is up to date, we can proceed with installing Nano by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install nano
The command above will install Nano and any necessary dependencies. Depending on your internet speed and the amount of updates required, this process may take a few minutes.
Now that Nano is installed, we can verify the installation by running the following command:
nano --version
This command should output the version of Nano that was installed on your system.
To start using Nano, simply open a terminal window and type nano. This will open a new file in Nano for you to edit. To open an existing file, simply type nano filename.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and verified Nano on your Debian latest system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
