There's a couple of options

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+ F2 (or F3,F4,etc.) to switch to a tty
2. Append "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to your kernel parameters in your boot loader (without the quotes). If you're using grub, you'd hit 'e' at the grub menu, and add that parameter to the line starting with linux.

ok, and is there a command to log back in the gui, and install programs in the gui?

"systemctl isolate graphical.target", please read the link I posted.
