nano is a text file editor - much like "notepad.exe" in Windows. what your instructor meant is that you could use nano to edit the files and use g++ (a different program) to compile it. Both of these programs are run from the shell - which is a program that executes other programs. The shell is run in a terminal emulator (or real terminal) You need to find a Terminal Emulator you like (I like Terminal or urxvt) and run a shell you like (I prefer zsh - but you are likely to have bash). Then you type commands into said terminal.

Dear Shane, Nano is not a unix shell, it is a text editor. It doesn't compile code. If you haven't already, I would check out a Unix guide like the one at: http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ Tutorial Section 7 talks about compiling software, but you may find other parts useful as well.
