So if you want a text editor, they would expect you to install it yourself. As far as I understand, the minimized setup was originally intended for cloud instances, in which they have internet access by default. write your config file from scratch using cat (it's really not much different than a regular text editor but you can't edit in place, only create new files).Īnd the secret third option is to not use the minimized install option if you need more user friendly tools before accessing the internet.Īccording to the list of installed packages posted here, there is no other text editor.If you don't have internet access, of course you have two options. Try vi or vim.tiny instead of vim or you could install nano using the following commands: sudo apt update So all I can conclude from this is that the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS minimal server install does not ship with a text editor.
To sate my growing curiosity, I installed vim as well and ran select-editor again: select-editor Update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for I installed nano, and ran it again to see what would happen: seems that, now that there's only one editor installed, it ran without any further input and threw no errors. I ran select-editor on my fresh minimal server install and got: select-editor Honestly, it's kind of ironic, given the following, but. Ubuntu (including the minimal server install) ships with a utility to set the default editor (aptly named select-editor see the Ubuntu select-editor Manpage). I had the same question, and I'm a little scared to report that it appears there isn't an editor installed with the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS minimal server install.
