[Help-nano] Nano installation, compiling, c++ building. Mac

[Shane Steinmetz]

Hello,

I am very new to nano and also c++ compiling, using it for my Computer Science Lab at Kent State University. What i need is a step-by-step installation for a Mac OS. 

For example:

What to download,

Where to put command lines,

How to compile in c++,

etc...

Basically i need everything, because i am having immense trouble with following directions that are given on sites and even on the README.

The more amount of detail, the better.

Thank you very much
