May 26, 2006 at 06:21 PM | categories: openbsd | View Comments

To get color ls output on OpenBSD, get a recent version of ports and then do the following:

  1. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/colorls
  2. make install
  3. set your TERM to wsvt25
  4. /usr/local/bin/colorls -G should now display similar to the GNU ls with the color option
  5. Set the appropriate alias for your shell.
