02 Why do we need a Text Editor?

02.01: 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.

02.02: Available Text Editors

02.04: Why vim?

  • Considerations:

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

    • Can you install other editors?

    • What is your personal choice?

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