Install Nano by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-utf8 \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/nano-2.5.2 &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install && install -v -m644 doc/nanorc.sample /etc && install -v -m644 doc/texinfo/nano.html /usr/share/doc/nano-2.5.2
--enable-utf8: This switch
enables unicode support in Nano.
--with-slang: This forces Nano to use S-Lang. Use this if installed.
Example configuration (create as a system-wide /etc/nanorc or a personal ~/.nanorc file)
set autoindent
set const
set fill 72
set historylog
set multibuffer
set nohelp
set regexp
set smooth
set suspend
Another example is the nanorc.sample file in the /etc directory. It includes color
configurations and has some documentation included in the
comments.
Syntax highlighting is provided for several file types, in
/usr/share/nano/ directory. E.g.,
for shell scripts, you can insert include
/usr/share/nano/sh.nanorc in the personal or global
configuration file. If you wish highlighting for all supported
files, use include
/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc.
