How to change default Linux VI text editor to Pico

If only for the session just run this: export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico

If you want to change it so every time it will use Pico do this:

Open the server command line

Run:

1. export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico


2. pico ~/.bashrc

Add this line at the bottom of the file:

1. export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico

Save the file and your done.

This changes the server to always use Pico no matter when it’s being used.
