Adding to the previous reply suggesting line-number-mode, there are
also packages that show line-numbers *in the buffer* to which people
coming from outside Emacs are familiar. Depending on your Emacs
version, you may have the Linum package already installed. If so, M-x
linum-mode will interest you. Otherwise, you can find it on the
internet[1].

That said, I personally find the line-numbers along the left of a
buffer somewhat intrusive and unnecessary. The line-number shown in
the status area suffices and doesn't take up my precious screen space!
