I am asking this after having read this post:
How do I display line numbers in emacs (not in the mode line)?
I have tried using:M-x linum-mode
and display-line-numbers-mode
After closing emacs and reopening, they are gone. Is there not a way to have emacs permanently display the line numbers?

In order for your changes to persist, you need to add them to your init file. If you've used any customize functionality, it probably generated one for you, and it's saved in ~/.emacs. If that isn't the case, you're better off putting it in ~/.emacs.d/init.el.
In order to have line numbers in all buffers and have them persistently, you can put
(global-display-line-numbers-mode)
into your init file.

Both of those files are empty for me. And adding that line did nothing in both cases.

You either have to evaluate contents of your new init file to see the changes right away, or restart Emacs. Also, if you have both files,~/.emacswill take precedence if I recall correctly, so make sure you have only one of these files.

Thank you for your continued help. I restarted everything. I am putting that line in an empty ~/.emacs file. And getting this error: Symbol's function definition is void: global-display-line-numbers-mode

Menus are your friends. They can be a good way to discover Emacs features.
You can also alternatively use Customize to set the equivalent option directly: M-x customize-option global-display-line-numbers-mode.

I only have a 'Line Numbers' completion (I do not see a 'Line Numbers for All Lines') under 'Show/Hide' and choosing that one simply toggles line number mode.
