How to install and use a text editor in Ubuntu?
One common method for installing and using an editor in Ubuntu is using the following steps:
- Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type in the following command to install a popular editor, such as Vim.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vim
- Once the installation is complete, you can launch the Vim editor by typing the command ‘vim’ in the terminal. Vim can be used to edit text files, code, and more.
- If you want to install other editors like Sublime Text or VS Code, you can download the respective installation packages from their official websites and follow the instructions to install them.
- After the installation is complete, you can start the editors by entering their commands in the terminal, such as using “subl” to start Sublime Text or “code” to start VS Code.
- If you are not comfortable using an editor in the terminal, you can also search for the name of the editor in the app store and install it to use in a graphical interface.
