check the value of the variable WINDOW-SYSTEM: as per the documentation, it
is nil if emacs is running in a terminal. so you can do:

(when window-system
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
  (global-font-lock-mode  t)
  (set-scroll-bar-mode 'right)
  (require 'color-theme)
  (color-theme-initialize)
  (color-theme-whateveryouwant)
  (mwheel-install))
