using the browser as your client is an easy way to get playing in seconds, but if you'd prefer to play on your terminal directly (which is actually how I intend most people to play), try this:

1) download a client for your OS from this page:

https://github.com/moul/gotty-client/releases

2) type the following on the command line:

$ gotty-client http://play.eolsh.com:35515
