MobaXterm apt-get permanently install packages

Question

I am using MobaXterm 10.8 portable.

Whenever I install any package with

$ apt-get install nano

I can use the package for the whole MobaXterm session. But these packages vanish when closing MobaXterm.

On the other hand, plugins are persistent.

Is there any way to make apt-get packages also permanent?

Answer 1
