Editing Config Files

To modify your node beyond the basic settings of what nodesetup.sh can do, you'll need to manually edit the config files.

Linux CLI Editors

• vi is pretty much the default editor on most linux distros. Learn it, love it.
  • Update vi to fix cursor movement (apt-get install vim).
• nano is easier to learn and preferred by many.

GUI Editors

Many folks prefer a GUI editor and file transfer client over the Linux vi and nano editors.

For Windows:

• Winscp is a popular file transfer and editor client.
• Putty SSH and Telnet client.

For Mac:

• Transmit or CyberDuck file transfer client.
• Text Mate or Sublime Editor.
