### Login
```bash
ssh pi@192.168.1.x
```

#### Install dependencies
I prefer the midnight commander. It is a file manager like the good old norton commander.
It includes a easy to use text editor, called _mceditor_.
But you can install the editor of your choice.

```bash
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install mc git mysql-server mysql-client
```

#### Configuration

Setup cli standard editor with:
```bash
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
```
(hit _3_ for midnight commander editor (recommended for linux beginners like me ;-)
