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?

3Your 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. – ChanganAuto Dec 14 '21 at 15:19

1Go 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. – user68186 Dec 14 '21 at 15:51

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.
