How it works?

On most typical terminals and operating systems ANSI Bash Function Library should work out of the box, if you don't see any colors or the output is not exactly what you expect, you probably have a terminal type that doesn't handle all the ANSI terminal codes used by ansi-bfl.

On Linux, FreeBSD or OpenBSD you could try to set

TERM=xterm-256color

On AIX and Solaris you could try with

TERM=dtterm

Reading the terminfo, termcap and term manual pages can help you to find out which terminal type should be set.
