Emacs is available on our [[:Category:Linux Clients|Linux clients]].

If you run <code>emacs</code> 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 [[Connecting to CS Systems with SSH|SSH]] to connect to a system without using X forwarding), you should instead run:

emacs -nw

In some cases, running <code>emacs</code> when there is no graphical environment available will result in a error message similar to "cannot open display".
