+# Install micro on Rocky Linux
+
+## Introduction
+
+*[micro](https://micro-editor.github.io)* is a fantastic little terminal-based text editor that sits between *nano* and *vim* in terms of complexity. It has a simple, easily-recognized workflow with several awesome features:
+
+* All of your usual “Control-C”, ”Control-V”, and “Control-F” commands work as they would in a desktop-based text editor. All keybindings can be re-bound, of course.
+* Mouse support — click and drag to select text, double-click to select words, triple-click to select lines.
+* Over 75 languages supported with syntax highlighting by default.
+* Multiple cursors for when you need to edit multiple lines at a time.
+* Includes a plugin system.
+* Multiple panes.
+
+And here’s how it looks in my own terminal:

+
+!!!Note
+
+    You *can* install micro via a snap app. If you're already using snap on your machine.. I mean... why not? But I prefer to get it straight from the source.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* Any internet-connected Rocky Linux machine or container.
+* A basic knowledge of the command line, and a desire to edit your text there.
+* Some commands will need to be run as root, or with `sudo`.
+
+### How to Install micro
+
+This is maybe the easiest tutorial I’ve written so far, with exactly three commands. First, you make sure that *tar* and *curl* are installed. This should only really be relevant if you’re running a minimal install of Rocky, or running it inside a container.
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install tar curl
+```
+
+Next, you’ll need the installer from *micro*’s website. The following command will get the installer, and run it for you in whatever directory you’re working in. I know we don’t normally advise copying and pasting commands from websites, but this one has never given me any trouble.
+
+```bash
+curl https://getmic.ro | bash
+```
+
+So install the app system-wide (and so you can just type “micro” to open up the app), you can run the script as root inside of `/usr/bin/`. However, if you want to check the it out first and be careful about it, you can install the *micro* to any folder you want, and then move the app later with:
+
+```bash
+sudo mv micro /usr/bin/
+```
+
+And that’s it! Happy text editing.
+
+### The Really Easy Way
+
+I created a dead-simple script that basically just runs all of those commands. You can find it in my [Github gists](https://gist.github.com/EzequielBruni/0e29f2c0a63500baf6fe9e8c51c7b02f), and either copy/paste the text to a file on your machine, or download it with `wget`.
+
+## Uninstalling micro
+
+Go to the folder you installed *micro* in and (using your godly root powers as necessary) run:
+
+```bash
+rm micro
+```
+
+Also, *micro* will leave some configuration files in your home directory (and the home directories of every user who has run it). You can get rid of those with:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf /home/[username]/.config/micro
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+If you want a full guide to using *micro*, check out the [main website](https://micro-editor.github.io), and the documentation in the [Github repo](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/tree/master/runtime/help). You can also press “Control-G” to open the main help file inside of the app itself.
+
+*micro* probably won’t meet the needs of those who have dedicated themselves to the *vim* or *emacs* experience, but it’s perfect for people like me. I’ve always wanted that old Sublime Text experience in the terminal, and now I have something *really* close.
+
+Try it out, see if it works for you.
