See [Best Linux Version to Node-Red](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/best-linux-version-to-node-red/93449) for a discussion on this. I am surprised that you did not see that post, presumably you did search the forum before asking the question.  
Whether you want a gui or command line install is up to how you want to use it.
