How To Use Or Install Lynx To Browse Web From Linux Terminal

 Do you want to install Lynx to browse the web? Have you ever trying to use a Linux system with no desktop environment and want to look something up on Google? It happens! Rather than pulling out your mobile, try to use Lynx to browse the web from the terminal.

How To Install Lynx

The efficient way of browsing or surfing the internet in the terminal is using the Lynx web browser. It is completely a text-based browser. Also, it works on Unix-like OSes or MS-Dos command-line. It is the oldest web browser but still actively being developed.

As it sounds old or pointless but it is quite handy. Especially when you’re working on a remote Linux server and you lack GUI access and want to install a file.

If you want to install the Lynx browser, simply launch a terminal window and follow the steps that match your Operating system.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is no doubt the most popular Linux distribution, so it contains a Lynx package for installation in the repos. If you want to get it, input the Apt command below in a terminal window.
