There are a few different command-line based text editors to choose from when using Linux, but Vim and Nano are two of the most popular. Vim can be a little more difficult to learn at first, but it’s very powerful. Nano is much more user-friendly, and will feel more familiar to people who have used other text editors before. Although Nano is not as feature rich as Vim, it is more accessible for beginners.

In this article, we’ll be taking a look at the basics of Nano, from how to install it to making some simple adjustments to its settings. This article is for everyone, regardless of your experience with the Linux command line. We’ll be using a CentOS 8 server to show you the many ways Nano can make your life easier.

If you see this message, nano is not installed. You can install it using yum package manager by running the following command

sudo yum install -y nano

The -y option means that yum will accept any prompt for user interaction, whether it’s about permission or installation details.
