Install Tools without DS5

I'm attempting to use an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual private server to build the kernel, distro, and bootloader.

When I try to install the 16.0 EDS I get an error because it is looking for xterm or a gnome-term. I don't need/have graphics. How can I install the toolchain without the DS5 IDE?

Also, I'm a little confused. I'm assuming the baremetal tools are for the bootloaders. Which toolchain is used for Linux userspace code?

Thanks,

Kenny
