Install Nano by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-utf8 \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/nano-2.8.7 &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m644 doc/{nano.html,sample.nanorc} /usr/share/doc/nano-2.8.7
--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 constantshow
set fill 72
set historylog
set multibuffer
set nohelp
set nowrap
set positionlog
set quickblank
set regexp
set smooth
set suspend
Another example is the nanorc.sample file in the installed
documentation 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.
