Yes, it works for me. How about extending it slightly, along these

If your GNU/Linux distribution includes a graphical package manager,
this is often the easiest way to install Emacs. Please refer to the
documentation for your distribution for full instructions on how to
install a package.
You might prefer installing from the command-line. Here are some of
the commands that various GNU/Linux distributions use to install a
package named 'emacs'.
