Setup
Here is how to install zsh with a custom theme and some basic plugins.
Install zsh with the package manager of your choice
Install ohmyzsh with
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Install the powerlevel10k theme with
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
Set `ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"` in `~/.zshrc`.zshrc5. Restart your shellterminal or type `
p10k configure`
6.configure
Go through the configuration and customize it to your liking7. Now is a good time to see what plugins you would like8. In this guide we will install `history-substring-search`<span style="font-family: monospace;"> search, `zsh-syntax-highlighting`highlighting and `zsh-autosuggestions`autocomplete
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
10. When all of them are downloaded we will need to activate them
11. To activate them we will need to type them into our `~/.zshrc`
12. This is how it should look like ```
plugins=(
git
history-substring-search
zsh-syntax-highlighting
zsh-autosuggestions
)
```
13. Git was preinstalled when we installed ohmyzsh
14. To use the plugins now you will need to type `source ~/.zshrc`
15. Now you have a working install of zsh with plugins and a theme 🚀
