Emacs-nox is the Emacs text editor program without support for
the X Window System.

You need to install this package only if you plan on exclusively using
Emacs without the X Window System (emacs-X11 will work both in X and out
of X, but emacs-nox will only work outside of X). You'll also need to
install the emacs package in order to run Emacs.
