Alt key when navigating in console


In Ubuntu when using Alt modification key I can move between words using left/right arrows. But in OS X (iTerm2 actually) when pressing this key combination I get [D symbols. Do I need any additional libraries to make it work or how can I accomplish this for comfortable navigation?
