## How to enable 256 color mode in Ubuntu/Debian terminal?
By default, Ubuntu/Debian terminals are set to 8 to 16 colors. This makes vim ugly! To see what color mode you're in, type:
tput colors
If you get 256, you're good to go. Otherwise, type the following:
sudo apt-get install ncurses-term
vim ~/.bashrc
At the bottom of the file, put:
export TERM=xterm-256color
Save and close the file. Then force Bash to reload the config file:
source ~/.bashrc
Now check if everything is all good:
tput colors
