title: What is a TTY and how can I enable it on Ubuntu?
body: <p>I'm currently setting up a node.js server and I'm using the debug module here <a href="https://github.com/visionmedia/debug" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/visionmedia/debug</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to enable it so I can get the colored debugging information in my output, however my terminal looks like the last terminal screen at the bottom after it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>When stdout is not a TTY, Date#toUTCString() is used, making it more useful for logging the debug information as shown below:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.</p>
