Elinks is a Unix-like operating system’s free text-based web browser. Petr Baudi forked the Links Web browser in late 2001 as an experimental branch, hence the E in the name. The E has evolved to stand for Enhanced or Extended since then.

Uses of ELinks:

Elinks is a text-mode WWW browser that has color support, table rendering, background downloading, a menu-driven setup interface, tabbed browsing, and thin code. Frames are accepted. External viewers can be connected with a variety of file types. External clients support mail-to and telnet.

Installation of Elinks Web browser on Ubuntu:

Step 1: We will update our operating system by using the below command.

sudo apt update

 

Step 2: The Elinks package may be found in the Ubuntu repository. It is not only the simplest but also the best approach to installing a package from a distribution’s main repository. To begin the installation, use the command below.

 sudo apt install elinks

 

Step 3: Start the browser. Now that we’ve installed the browser, we’re going to execute the following command and see how things go.

elinks

 

When the connection is established, the following screen will appear on your terminal. Your terminal will be transformed into a browser. It will be completely functioning and will render all of a website’s text.

 

Now we successfully installed the Elinks web browser on our ubuntu operating system.
