### Facing problems with Font Rendering ?
For the icons to display properly on your system, you need to have FontAwesome fonts installed.
Grab the otf files from [here](https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/)
You will need to install this font on your system for icons to be rendered properly.
Instructions [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/191778/how-to-install-many-font-files-fast-and-easy)
[Update](http://askubuntu.com/questions/605986/how-can-i-upgrade-gnome-terminal-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts) your gnome-terminal
Also if you are still not able to get the fonts, you may have to perform the step listed as : 
To use it in Linux within gnome-terminal you need to put `FontAwesome.otf`
inside your `~/.fonts/` folder on Linux. And create a
`~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf` file with the following content:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
    <fontconfig>
    
    <alias>
      <family>serif</family>
      <prefer>
        <family>DejaVu Serif</family>
        <family>Android Emoji</family>
        <family>Symbola</family>
      </prefer>
    </alias>
    <alias>

      <prefer>
        <family>DejaVu Sans</family>
        <family>Android Emoji</family>

For Windows users : 
 - pip install would most likely fail to install `pyyaml`, since `PyYAML` isn't actively maintained. You need to grab it manaully from [here](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyyaml)
 - If you are using `cmd` god bless you. Change the character map using `chcp 65001`. Check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14109024/how-to-make-unicode-charset-in-cmd-exe-by-default) for additional instructions.
