# Last updated March, 2022 for Apple silicon Macs | |
# 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 |
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
