Because of it's microservice architecture, Nano is able to run on multiple instances on the same machine by the same or multiple users without issue.

By default Nano will start in the default instance location for all users. This default home directory is different for all operating systems.

Creating a new Nano instance is simple. You just have to create a new `local.yml` configuration file and pass it to Nano in a start argument. As the name suggests, this file is not editable remotely.

.. WARNING::
  Instances must not mix used paths aside from the dependant software!
