Install dependencies

I prefer the midnight commander. It is a file manager like the good old norton commander. It includes a easy to use text editor, called mceditor. But you can install the editor of your choice.

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install mc git mysql-server mysql-client

Configuration

Setup cli standard editor with:

sudo update-alternatives --config editor

(hit 3 for midnight commander editor (recommended for linux beginners like me ;-)
