How do I find emacs in Linux?

Most GNU/Linux distributions provide pre-built Emacs packages. If Emacs is not installed already, you can install it by running (as root) a command such as ‘ dnf install emacs ‘ (Red Hat and derivatives; use ‘ yum ‘ in older distributions) or ‘ apt-get install emacs ‘ (Debian and derivatives).
