run:
sudo apt-get install emacs24
enter your password (as you type it, there's no feedback, I'm sure you remember ;)), press enter.
when its done
emacs your_filename.ext
should work just fine

I am trying Linux again after many years, and I have installed Ubuntu 12.10. I have downloaded the full GNU Emacs24 package, but I cannot get it to launch a text editor.
Can someone tell me what I have to do to get it to launch?
I keep getting:
emacs ~/test.txt The program 'emacs' can be found in the following packages: * emacs23 * emacs23-nox * emacs24 * emacs24-nox * e3 * emacs23-lucid * emacs24-lucid * jove Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
Any help is appreciated.
