At the time time of installing vlc on my laptop I entered the command in terminal vlc. It returned a message saying:
The program vlc is not currently installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt-get install vlc-nox
But instead, I just typed sudo apt-get install vlc. What is vlc-nox? Is it different from vlc?

vlc-nox package contains a version of VLC that does not require X and that is
thus suitable for headless servers.
This Package of VLC contains the bare requirements you need to install.
Here is no graphical User Interface included, thus it's also perfectly
suitable for server installations (Streaming Server for example)
Should you decide to install the GUI modules, vlc-noX will stay
installed as a dependency.

But what does that actually mean? :-) How can you play a video without X? If you run vlc-nox at the console it will directly play to the console's framebuffer or something like that?

VLC-nox is the GUI-less version of VLC. you don’t need GUI or X to create a VLC streaming server. The VLC GUI is only needed at the client end.
