GNU nano -
-
an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor
Overview
The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the
wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor.
The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the
wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor.
First and foremost was its license: the Pine suite does not use
the GPL or a GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on
redistribution. Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included
with many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like
go-to-line-number or search-and-replace) were unavailable until
recently or require a command-line flag. Yuck.

nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of
Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and
providing other extra functionality.

It's that simple. Use --prefix with configure to override the
default installation directory of /usr/local.

If you haven't configured with the
"
--disable-nanorc
"
option, after
installation you may want to copy the doc/nanorc.sample
to your
home directory, rename it to ".nanorc", and then edit it
according
to your taste.
