I think I have a simple question. I'm trying to open transmission in the console so that it reflects like the image found as screenshot here on this site:

How can I achieve this? Do I need to have curses installed? I'd prefer not to use the WebGUI if possible and instead use the console method.
I already have the following installed and running:
transmission-daemon (I can see the web interface, but like I said I prefer the console)
transmission-remote
transmissioncli
Is there anything else I need to install? If I do need curses installed, is there a good site that instructs on how to do this?
Thanks for the help!
