Run:

Install (Ubuntu):
Sudo apt-get install bsdgames
Command: sl (Steam Locomotive)
You might be aware of command ‘ls‘ the list command and use it frequently to view the contents of a folder but because of miss-typing sometimes you would result in ‘sl‘, how about getting a little fun in terminal and not “command not found“.
Install sl
root@tecmint:~# apt-get install sl (In Debian like OS) root@tecmint:~# yum -y install sl (In Red Hat like OS)
Output
root@tecmint:~# sl
Command: aafire
How about fire in your terminal. Just type “aafire” in the terminal, without quotes and see the magic. Press any key to interrupt the program.
Install aafire
root@tecmint:~# apt-get install libaa-bin
Output
root@tecmint:~# aafire
