After updating my mac to CATALINA, I have been dealing with some issues, and one of them is the fact that I can't open EMACS on the terminal:
-bash: emacs: command not found
Anyone with the same issue, and knows how to fix this? Thanks!

As of Catalina, Emacs is no longer provided in macOS. You'll have to download it from elsewhere, such as https://emacsforosx.com/ or https://aquamacs.org. There are other packages/distributions/ports listed at https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsForMacOS.
OS X comes with a preinstalled version of Emacs, but alas it is the outdated Emacs 22. Fortunately, obtaining a newer release is really simple. There are several popular ways to do it.
Installation. There are many Emacs clients on macOS. The recommended version on macOS is Emacs Mac Port, but others are good as well.
If you can live with basic "emacs-like" editing, Catalina includes "mg" text editor. For more info:
man mg

If you have one of those packages, you may have to re-install its command line tools/helpers.
