RTFM
From the manpage man ls:
CLICOLOR Use ANSI color sequences to distinguish file types. See LSCOLORS below. In addition to the file types mentioned in the -F option some extra attributes (setuid bit set, etc.) are also displayed. The colorization is dependent on a terminal type with the proper termcap(5) capabili- ties. The default ``cons25'' console has the proper capabilities, but to display the colors in an xterm(1), for example, the TERM variable must be set to ``xterm-color''. Other terminal types may require simi- lar adjustments. Colorization is silently disabled if the output isn't directed to a terminal unless the CLICOLOR_FORCE variable is defined.So set CLICOLOR_FORCE to 1 if you feel really sure about what you are doing. Don't forget to set TERM to something meaningful! Good luck! And personally I prefer to install almost everything in my user account, then I modify my PATH as needed. This way if anything happens to my install, a simple restore of files in my home directory is ALL that is needed to bring myself back to where I am now. (well outside of a reboot and installation of some applications) As a longtime FreeBSD user, I prefer the BSD utils, but your preference. |
