CoreOS does not include a package manager but my preferred text editor is nano, not vi or vim. Is there any way around this? gcc is not available so its not possible to compile from source: core@core-01 ~/nano-2.4.1 $ ./configure checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking whether make supports nested variables... no checking for style of include used by make... none checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: in `/home/core/nano-2.4.1': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH To put this in context, I was following this guide when I found I wanted to use nano.
