I really like the terminal that comes with Ubuntu Desktop (I believe this is called gnome? Please correct me if I am mistaken).

Is there any way to install this into Ubuntu Server? The terminal in ubuntu server is not pleasing to the eye (I know I shouldn't care about the looks)

But if this is possible to do, I would like to know.

Thank you

edit: This may seem like the same question as some has pointed out. But they are different, I am just bad at explaining. I wanted to know if it was possible to install the gnome application into ubuntu server. My other question was how to make the ubuntu server have the same font/colour as ubuntu desktop. So one question was related to appearance, and the other was related to actually installing the gnome application itself.

    You can only run gnome-terminal on a desktop, it is an application. You can't replace your TTY with it, they are not the same thing. Though you may like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/147462/how-can-i-change-the-tty-colors – Mark Kirby Aug 18 '16 at 17:18

    @Zanna Indeed, I don't think it is intentionally the same question but they are very related and the answers would be the same. I voted it as a dupe. – Mark Kirby Aug 18 '16 at 17:27
  • @Zanna @ Mark Kirby Please see my edit regarding that this is a separate question to my other question. Thanks. – Baba.S Aug 18 '16 at 17:59
  • One of the simple way is to take "ssh user@ServerIPaddress of server from Ubuntu Desktop and you get the same gnome-terminal feel (such as same font / colour ) !. – Abdullah Farweez Nov 23 '22 at 12:54

You can only run gnome-terminal on a desktop, it is an application. You can't replace your TTY with it, they are not the same thing, you can't have a gtk application without a window manager to run it in.

I refer you to this answer on your last question, this post and this one from my comment.

If you want gnome-terminal you need a desktop but those links combined should help you get almost there.
