Gedit Installation

Gedit is a Linux-based text editing program that is not installed by default. To use gedit commands, you must first install the gedit package using the apt package manager. As root user, run the commands "apt install gedit" and accept the installation. Once installed, gedit can be opened from the command line using the command "gedit filename.extension". Gedit is preferable for Linux beginners over other default text editors like mousepad and vim because it has a graphical user interface.
