Need help on installing an EASY to use and easy to install command line text editor
Hi again. Sorry if it seems like I'm spamming the boards a bit, but I figured I might as well ask all the questions I need answers to at once, and hopefully at least get some.
I have installed Solaris 10 on a server. The default text editors are there (vi, ex, ed, maybe others, I know emacs is NOT there), but I need something easy to use, that behaves more or less like notepad. I may end up grunting and memorizing all the special keystrokes of vi, but I can't expect the users that will use the server to do so. Important: Any text editor MUST work from the command line (telnet/SSH tty connection), because that's the only way the server is accessible to users. I can come up to the physical console to install something once, but not keep using it. Pico is one thing that would work, or something like it. I also need something that would be easy to install ... and when I say "easy to install", I'm not talking "easy for a 30 year Unix guru", but rather someone who has very limited experience in *nix to begin with. If you give me advice, I'd appreciate being very specific. For example, I'd really appreciate getting a binary install for Solaris, together with step-by-step instructions, rather than a source code I need to compile, because the server doesn't seem to have a compiler on it. Please keep this newbie-friendly! ![]() |

Also, do you know where I can get specific instructions on how to install the binary once I download it on the server? |
