Getting started
Let’s walk through setting up Nano to highlight Euphoria files.
Installation
If you’re running Ubuntu, then you should already have Nano. Open a Terminal and type which nano to verify its installation. If it’s missing, type sudo apt install nano to install it. (Isn’t Linux easy?)
Configuration
Download nanorc
I have created an updated nanorc file for Euphoria 4.1. This file will add syntax highlighting to Nano.
You can get it on the Downloads page. Here is a direct link: euphoria.nanorc (2kB)
Install nanorc
Open Terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo mv Downloads/euphoria.nanorc /usr/share/nano/sudo chown root:root /usr/share/nano/euphoria.nanorc
The default Nano configuration for Ubuntu will use all *.nanorc files in the /usr/share/nano/ directory by default.
Test nanorc
Now open a Euphoria file, such /usr/local/euphoria-4.1.0-Linux-x64/demo/animal.ex, to see the syntax highlighting works correctly.
Thats it! I told you Linux was easy.
