Nano, sudo apt-get for windows

I'm not a command line expert, but windows command lines do not have all of the features of a linux or unix command line, like what you're use to through here. I know that apt-get is not available on windows, and I've never tried it, but it sounds like nano isn't either.

If you're on windows, your best bet is to install Ubuntu inside a virtual box on your windows machine. Than when you work inside your box, you'll have access to apt-get and nano.

It's really not that hard to set this up, and it is hard to screw it up. I had everything set up in about 2-3 hours if I remember correctly. Did this just a few weeks ago myself, for the same reason.

This is the guide I used: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox

It's a little outdated but it's still close enough it got me there.

If you go this route, let me know and I'll help as I can.

Windows command line has a different set of command names. On 'Nix based operating systems you are never running as the absolute admin unless you run sudo, this is for security reasons. Windows has some built in features to mimic that type of security using functions like UAC (user account control).

Here is a list of all the Windows Command Line commands: http://ss64.com/nt .

There are downloadable shells which mimic the Linux/Mac shell such as https://www.cygwin.com/ or http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/.

Usually when you need to run commands such as npm install as the highest level user, you can run the command as Administrator: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/run-a-command-as-administrator-from-the-windows-vista-run-box/
