Linux / UNIX Desktop Fun: Terminal ASCII Aquarium
================================================================================
You can now enjoy mysteries of the sea from the safety of your own terminal using ASCIIQuarium. It is an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art created using perl.

### Install Term::Animation ###

First, you need to install Perl module called Term-Animation. Open a command-line terminal (select Applications > Accessories > Terminal), and then type:

    $ sudo apt-get install libcurses-perl
    $ cd /tmp
    $ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KB/KBAUCOM/Term-Animation-2.4.tar.gz
    $ tar -zxvf Term-Animation-2.4.tar.gz
    $ cd Term-Animation-2.4/
    $ perl Makefile.PL && make && make test
    $ sudo make install

### Download and Install ASCIIQuarium ###

While still at bash prompt, type:

    $ cd /tmp
    $ wget http://www.robobunny.com/projects/asciiquarium/asciiquarium.tar.gz
    $ tar -zxvf asciiquarium.tar.gz
    $ cd asciiquarium_1.0/
    $ sudo cp asciiquarium /usr/local/bin
    $ sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/asciiquarium

### How do I view my ASCII Aquarium? ###

    $ /usr/local/bin/asciiquarium

OR

    $ perl /usr/local/bin/asciiquarium
