Ubuntu – Install terminal application after installing minimal desktop Unity on Ubuntu Server

terminalUbuntu

I installed Ubuntu server 14.04.. and to get a minimal desktop, I installed Unity desktop with the no-install-recommends option. The desktop was installed minimally but so is the terminal application missing.

How do I get this one application?

Press Ctrl + Alt + F2, this will bring you to a terminal screen. From there you can apt-get your preferred terminal. I recommend terminator.

To leave press Ctrl + Alt + F7.
