Nano Text Editor

Nano is a simple, easy-to-use text editor that is perfect for quick edits and simple scripts. It is a great alternative to more complex text editors such as Vi, Vim and Emacs.

Installing Nano

=== "x86_64" You can install Nano on a Intel or AMD based ChromeOS device by running the following on the ChromeOS Linux Terminal

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nano
```

=== "arm/aarch64" You can install Nano on a arm based ChromeOS device by running the following on a ChromeOS Linux Terminal

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nano
```

Once the installtion is complete, you can launch Nano by running the following command in the ChromeOS Linux Terminal. Please replace "path/to/file.txt" with the path to the file you wish to edit or create.

bash nano path/to/file.txt

Unlike many graphical applications, nano will not place a icon in the ChromeOS Launcher, you will need to launch it from the terminal.
