1Welcome to Emacs.SE! Please do a web search for "emacs tutorial" and you will come across a number of useful resources. This forum is designed for discrete questions rather than open-ended ones.– Dan ♦Nov 14, 2019 at 16:21

The answer is "yes". You may want to rephrase it in order to clarify if you want a different answer.– StefanNov 14, 2019 at 23:10

I write up something like the canonical answer.
If you have Emacs with graphical environment such as X11 or Windows just start Emacs and open the menu item Help
→ Emacs Tutorial
with the help of your pointing device such as mouse or touchpad.
If you only have the command line version of emacs start emacs with the following command line:
emacs -f help-with-tutorial
Then fight your way through the tutorial.
