<p>I want to run an electrum server and don't need the GUI. When I install it, I get:</p>

<pre><code>ubuntu@comp:~$ electrum                                                                                      qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Could not connect to any X display.
</code></pre>

<p>Which is because I don't have an X display, obviously. How can I install with pure command line?</p>
