Emacs
Emacs is available on our Linux clients.
If you run emacs
from the command line, it will try to open a graphical window. If you do not have a graphical environment available (most commonly from using SSH to connect to a system without using X forwarding), you should instead run:
emacs -nw
In some cases, running emacs
when there is no graphical environment available will result in a error message similar to "cannot open display".
