I downloaded lsix to my /usr/local/bin folder and I'm able to run the command but it returns with gibberish.

What could I be doing wrong?

Ubuntu has more than one terminal. The default terminals (gnome-terminal and lxterminal) will not work. Try running xterm -ti vt340. You can also use mlterm, but mlterm doesn't honor xterm's escape sequence to detect the palette size, so my program defaults to only 16 colors.
