Some Linux tools will help you with the configuration of the gateway when you use it in command line interface (CLI).

Text editors

If you have to edit a file, you can use either nano or vi. Nano is more intuitive to take in hands so if you're not familiar with the terminal or vi we recommend using nano.

Using Nano

You can edit a text file (or create one) using the following command:

nano file.txt
BASH

Prefix with sudo if you need root access over the edited file.

sudo nano file.txt
BASH

Once opened, you can navigate through the file with the arrow keys and modify, add or delete text like any standard file editor.

Nano uses the Ctrl key to accept commands and is easy to use since all the commands are detailed at the bottom. The "^" character represents the Ctrl key. For example, you can quit nano using the Ctrl+X combination. You can find all the shortcuts on the nano documentation.

Busybox

The gateway ships with Busybox. If you are familiar with this set of tools, do not hesitate to use them.
