FWIW, we just had a workshop at UCSF and the nano install/config with
the SWC installer worked fine on the ~15 windows laptops in the room.
The only ones with 'nano not found' were those that hadn't run the SWC
installer after installing git for windows.

At a workshop this morning a few of our learners see a “nano not

Is this a known error/bug?
We have a few bugs related with nano. :-(
I had suggested to replace nano with Atom, https://atom.io/,
since it works on Windows, Mac and Linux machines,
https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/tag/v1.14.4,
plus is open source.
The arguments against the change was
(1) Switch windows is distracting for learners.
(2) We still need to install GNU Make
and makes it accessible from msysGit.
(3) We still need to install SQLite
and makes it accessible from msysGit.
I understand (1) but having "nano not found" is worse.
I don't have any data about how many workshops depend on (2) and (3).
