Downloading CLI version of Ubuntu

cn flag

Where can I download and install the CLI version of Ubuntu server? I installed one Ubuntu server but it was the GUI version. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Your question makes no sense. First of all, you can download either edition from exactly the same place and the Server edition comes without a desktop environment so if the one you installed has a "GUI" then it wasn't the Server edition.

Go to https://ubuntu.com/download/server and select **Option2 - Manual server installation**. Then click on the **Download Ubuntu server 20.04.3 LTS** green button. There is no GUI version of Ubuntu server.

The best CLI/TUI version of Ubuntu server installer is netboot mini.iso.

You can get mini.iso of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/

and then build any type of system on top of it using Aptitude and other CLI-based lightweight tools without huge massive Snaps and cloud init.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
