Install Nano RPM on Plesk 8.2.1 · Tuesday January 1, 2008

These instructions are mainly for my internal reference, but for the sake of you — oh glorious reader — I’ve decided to share my recipe.

To install nano (clone of the Pico text editor) on a Linux-based SWSoft Plesk server, run the following commands — assuming you have root access:

  1. ssh root@domain.com
  2. cd /usr/local/src
  3. wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.0/nano-2.0.3.tar.gz
  4. tar zxvf nano-2.0.3.tar.gz
  5. cd nano-2.0.3
  6. ./configure
  7. make
  8. make install

To test the installation, simply run the executable from the command line: nano
