Ubuntu '-bash: nano: command not found'

Question

I am trying to use Ubuntu 18.04 to download ModSecurity on Google Cloud, but whenever I try writing sudo nano *file*.conf or nano *file*.conf . I get an error saying -bash: nano: command not found or sudo: nano: command not found . I'm not sure if it is because I'm using Google Cloud Platform for this, but I just need to know how to solve this problem

Answer 1

Try running sudo apt-get install nano

It appears nano isn't installed on your machine

Answer 2

Seems nano is missing on this ubuntu.

Try: sudo apt-get install nano

Answer 3

I had the same error. The fix to this is that the nano text editor is missing in your OS. You can download it by writing this in the terminal window:

sudo apt install nano

Note : The apt-get would also work but it is depreciated now and the new term is apt.
