I'm using a command line environment on what is probably a limited size

I'm guessing it's wanting to install a bunch of graphical libraries, which
is why you're saying what you're saying.
wpasupplicant is not a GUI package and should install fine. It does
depend on a couple of networking libraries but that's it.
What I suspect is happening is that it's also wanting to install wpagui
which *is* a GUI program. This is a suggested package, and unfortunately
apt is configured to pull in recommended packages by default.
You can run the following command to turn this annoying feature off:
echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "false";'
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99disable-recommends
