# Install Homebrew if you don't already have it: https://brew.sh | |
# install nano from homebrew | |
brew install nano nanorc | |
# update your nanorc file | |
echo 'include "/opt/homebrew/share/nanorc/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc | |
# close and re-open your terminal and you'll have syntax highlighting |
Thanks, updated the gist @s-ota-66
Thanks all for the guide! Can confirm current version is working on 13.3.1
Better to use $(brew --prefix)
to work with both Intel & ARM chips
brew install nano nanorc
echo 'include "'"$(brew --prefix)"'/share/nanorc/*.nanorc"'
echo 'include "/usr/local/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Works for Sonora
echo 'include "/usr/local/Cellar/nano/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
Probably it would be better to use
echo 'include "'"$(brew --cellar nano)"'/*/share/nano/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
so in such case it will use the right path depends on if mac uses Intel or Apple Silicon
