Emacs is starting in x window version

Question

After installing Emacs via sudo apt-get install Emacs on a Linux Mint machine, I'm getting to the xwindow version of Emacs every time I start 'Emacs' from the terminal emulator in my window/tile manager.

I'm interested in the command-line version. Did I do something wrong so far?

Answer 1

If you remove the GUI version and install emacs-nox it will give you the command line only version.

Alternatively, you could also keep what you have and open it with emacs -nw . The nw means "No Window".
