Using the Terminal/Command-Line

• We have a non-GUI/non-Windows environment.

• Unable to start a GUI/Window text-editor type application.

• We’re using the command-line.

Just one of several available command-line based text editors.

• ex: EXtended

• emacs:

• vi: 

• vim: Vi Improved: What are some of the improvements of Vim over Vi?

• nano: 

• and others...

Considerations:

• What’s available on the system you’re using?

• Can you install other editors?

• What is your personal choice?

• Note: On our MedicineBow cluster, vi is an alias for vim – meaning if you start vi, vim will start.
