Install Emacs 25 in Ubuntu, via Command Line. Emacs 25.1 can be installed on Ubuntu via PPA. GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable, text editor. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language with extensions to support text editing. It has a full Unicode support for nearly all human scripts. The Emacs comes with content-aware editing modes, including syntax coloring, for many file types. It also comes with a packaging system for downloading and installing extensions. For new-users it has a complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial.
