Mac Osx:powerline-style zsh configuration

The tools you need

1. ITerm, an alternative to the X-band terminal software, based on ITerm to achieve the above effect;
2. Oh-my-zsh,zsh is the most powerful shell on OSX, not one, but the configuration process is complicated, and this script can help you configure it with one click.
3. The powerline theme, based on the oh-my-zsh theme, is the effect above.

ITerm

Currently the latest version is iterm2,http://iterm2.com/, this is nothing to say, after the decompression to throw into the application, and then you can bring the system comes from the terminal from the dock bar removed ~

Oh-my-zsh

You'll need to install git before you install it manually, not here, Google, or use automatic installation.

• Automatic installation

https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh`

Download the above script and execute it.

• Manual Installation

git clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zshcp ~/.oh-my-zsh/tmplates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc

is not very complex, the installation will open the Terminal (iTerm) window, but this time the terminal seems to be not very good looking, because it is using the theme of its own, next we will change on our tall powerline theme ~

Powerline Themes

There are two ways to install the same:

• Automatic installation

git clone git://github.com/jeremyFreeAgent/oh-my-zsh-powerline-theme ~/.ohmyzsh-powerlinecd ~/.ohmyzsh-powerline./install_in_omz.sh

The principle of the automatic installation script is git clone down this project, and then create a symbolic link in the Oh-my-zsh theme folder, in fact, we can directly put the theme file into the theme package, do not have to keep ~/.ohmyzsh-powerline this folder If you wish to do so, use the manual installation below.

• Manual Installation

Manually download the zip package, put powerline.zsh-theme in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/, or execute the script below.

  git clone Git://github.com/jeremyfreeagent/oh-my-zsh-powerline-theme ~/.ohmyzsh-powerlineCD Span class= "pun" >~/. ohmyzsh-POWERLINECP powerline. Zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/ themes/powerline. Zsh-themerm -rf ~/.< Span class= "PLN" >ohmyzsh-powerline       

Then open the ~/.ZSHRC, the Zsh_theme= "Robbyrussell" to Zsh_theme= "powerline" changed the theme, restart Iterm, you can see the effect ~

Configure Powerline

Now the powerline theme has been a little embryonic, and a little bit of a problem.

1. In order to show the powerline style, it uses some special symbols to display the arrows, the system comes with the font does not support, so you need to manually download someone else packaged fonts, is http://github.com/powerline/fonts, Execute the install.sh inside, then select the font you like in the Iterm settings.

2. The default color looks a little strange, we can adjust the iterm to the ANSI color implementation color, I changed the background color and blue, change the font size and so on.

Finally, it's done!
