Hi all,

I am fairly new to balenaOS and can’t find any documentation anywhere on how to install a text editor. I have tried “sudo apt-get install nano” in the web based terminal and it returns command not found. I can’t find any documentation on how to install a text editor like vim or nano and would really appreciate some help!
