Colour man pages (lazy method)

Short and sweet:

sudo apt install most
sudo update-alternatives --set pager $(which most)

Non-lazy method here:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … -man-pages

Meh... ]:D

Re: Colour man pages (lazy method)

Anyway to change the colours ... that red is YUK ... and hard to read for my old eyes.

Re: Colour man pages (lazy method)

Anyway to change the colours

Apparently, yes there is:

Colors may be defined through the use of the color keyword in the the configuration file using the syntax:

color OBJECT-NAME FOREGROUND-COLOR BACKGROUND-COLOR

Here, OBJECT-NAME can be any one of the following items:

status           -- the status line
underline        -- underlined text
overstrike       -- overstriked text
normal           -- anything else

Have a look in /usr/share/doc/most for more details

EDIT: Or simply change your terminal colours.
