Hello  
Is there any way we can install some new tools for the shell in the rosjects?. I tried to install nano text editor in the shell inside of one of my rosjects because is more comfortable for me than vi but it didn’t let me to install it using apt. Is there any way to do that or install some other useful Linux packages?  
Thanks in advance for your assistance.  
All the Best

You should be able to install with

```auto
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nano # for example

```

However, whatever you install will not be saved for the next session. [Saving for the next session](https://get-help.robotigniteacademy.com/t/rosject-retaining-previous-session-config/6965/3) is something we have in our feature requests, but I can’t say when it will see the light of day.
