Lolcat, a fun application of Linux terminal that will fill your screen color.

Lolcat is proof that you can turn the Linux terminal fun, and that is that the fund should not impose much respect as usual. This is a program that works through a pipeline that gives the rainbow colors to whatever comes in the terminal.
It really has not much else, it is just a small tool to make the terminal more fun, but if you want to have it on your computer you will have to go through a few steps of installation. This is because Lolcat has no official repositiorios, and therefore we must get it and set it in other ways.
However, once we got Lolcat can begin to play. It is designed to be a fun tool that will help us to give a different touch to what we do in the terminal.Installing Lolcat
To use Lolcat in our Linux have to first install Ruby first of all. To do this open a terminal and use the following command:

 sudo apt-get install ruby

As ruby is installed we check its version with this other command:

 

 ruby --version

 ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

Now that we have Ruby can already consider installing Lolcat. For it will download a ZIP file of the network and install it with these commands:

 

 wget https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat/archive/master.zip
 unzip master.zip
 cd lolcat-master/bin
 sudo gem install lolcat

 

And with this we have installed and ready to run Lolcat.

Usando Lolcat

Lolcat funciona como un pipeline tal y como señalábamos antes, y por ello tenemos que “hacer que un comando pase por Lolcat”. Puede pasar cualquiera, así que esto es lo que pasa cuando hacemos un ls -la | lolcat:

 Interesting, right? Well, if you can still install cowsay it is more. For that we open a terminal and type the following:

 sudo apt-get install cowsay
