### Installation
|
||||
There are two steps to start using this theme:
|
||||
There are two installation steps to go from a lame terminal to a "Power Level
|
||||
9000" terminal. Once you are done, you can optionally customize your prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Powerlevel9k theme.
|
||||
2. Install Powerline-patched fonts.
|
||||
3. [Optional] Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To get the most out of Powerlevel9k, you need to install both the theme as well
|
||||
as Powerline-patched fonts, if you don't have them installed already. If you
|
||||
cannot install Powerline-patched fonts for some reason, follow the instructions
|
||||
below for a `compatible` install.
|
||||
[Installation Instructions](https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Install-Instructions)
|
||||
1. [Install the Powerlevel9k Theme](https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Install-Instructions#step-1-install-powerlevel9k)

are interested.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Install Powerlevel9k
|
||||
There are four ways to install and use the Powerlevel9k theme: vanilla ZSH,
|
||||
Oh-My-Zsh, Prezto, and antigen. Do one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 1: Install for Vanilla ZSH
|
||||
|
||||
If you use just a vanilla ZSH install, simply clone this repository and
|
||||
reference it in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git
|
||||
$ echo 'source powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k.zsh-theme' >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 2: Install for Oh-My-ZSH
|
||||
|
||||
To install this theme for
|
||||
[Oh-My-Zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh), clone this repository
|
||||
into your OMZ `custom/themes` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git themes/powerlevel9k
|
||||
|
||||
You then need to select this theme in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 3: Install for Prezto
|
||||
|
||||
To install this theme for use in Prezto, clone this repository into your
|
||||
[Prezto](https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto) `prompt/external` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ~.zprezto/modules/prompt/external
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git
|
||||
$ ln -s powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k.zsh-theme ../functions/prompt_powerlevel9k_setup
|
||||
|
||||
You then need to select this theme in your `~/.zpreztorc`:
|
||||
|
||||
zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'powerlevel9k'
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 4: Install for antigen
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen), just add this
|
||||
theme to the antigen config in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
$ echo 'antigen theme bhilburn/powerlevel9k powerlevel9k' >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||
$ echo 'antigen apply' >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you should define any customizations before calling `antigen theme`
|
||||
(i.e. setting the `POWERLEVEL9K_*` variables) in your `.zshrc`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Install Powerline Fonts
|
||||
Technically, you don't *have* to install Powerline fonts. If you are using
|
||||
a font that has some of the basic glyphs we need, you can use the theme in
|
||||
`compatible` mode - see the third option, below.
|
||||
|
||||
To get the most out of theme, though, you'll want Powerline-patched fonts. There
|
||||
are two varieties of these: 'Powerline Fonts' and 'Awesome Powerline
|
||||
Fonts'. The latter includes additional glyphs that aren't required for a normal
|
||||
install.
|
||||
|
||||
Do one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 1: Install Powerline Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the [installation instructions for Powerline Fonts here]
|
||||
(https://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/linux.html#fonts-installation).
|
||||
You can also find the raw font files [in this Github
|
||||
repository](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) if you want to manually install
|
||||
them for your OS.
|
||||
|
||||
After you have installed Powerline fonts, make the default font in your terminal
|
||||
emulator the Powerline font you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the default mode for `Powerlevel9k`, and no further configuration is
|
||||
necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
**N.B.:** If Powerlevel9k is not working properly, it is almost always the case
|
||||
that the fonts were not properly installed, or you have not configured your
|
||||
terminal to use a Powerline-patched font!
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 2: Install Awesome Powerline Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can install [Awesome Powerline
|
||||
Fonts](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts), which provide
|
||||
a number of additional glyphs.
|
||||
|
||||
You then need to indicate that you wish to use the additional glyphs by defining
|
||||
the following in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-fontconfig'
|
||||
|
||||
If you chose to use already patched fonts, use instead :
|
||||
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-patched'
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose to make use of this, your prompt will look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if you prefer flat segment transitions, you can use the following with
|
||||
`Awesome Powerline Fonts` installed:
|
||||
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='flat'
|
||||
|
||||
Which looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option 3: Compatible Mode
|
||||
|
||||
This option is best if you prefer not to install additional fonts. This option
|
||||
will work out-of-the-box if your your terminal font supports the segment
|
||||
separator characters `\uE0B0` (left segment separator) and `\uE0B2` (right
|
||||
segment separator).
|
||||
|
||||
All you need to do to in this case is install the `Powerlevel9k` theme itself,
|
||||
as explained above, and then define the following in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='compatible'
|
||||
|
||||
Note that depending on your terminal font, this may still not render
|
||||
appropriately. This configuration should be used as a back-up.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|

#### Customizing Prompt Segments

Customizing your prompt is easy! Select the segments you want to have displayed,
|

||||
currently available are:

and then assign them to either the left or right prompt by adding the following

|

To specify which segments you want, just add the following variables to your

### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some fixes to some common problems.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Gaps Between Segments
|
||||
|
||||
You can see this issue in the screenshot, below:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Thankfully, this is easy to fix. This happens if you have successfully installed
|
||||
Powerline fonts, but did not make a Powerline font the default font in your
|
||||
terminal emulator (e.g., 'terminator', 'gnome-terminal', 'konsole', etc.,).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Segment Colors are Wrong
|
||||
|
||||
If the color display within your terminal seems off, it's possible you are using
|
||||
a reduced color set. You can check this by invoking `echotc Co` in your
|
||||
terminal, which should yield `256`. If you see something different, try setting
|
||||
`xterm-256color` in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
TERM=xterm-256color
|
||||
|
||||
#### Strange Characters in prompt
|
||||
|
||||
If your prompt shows strange character like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
it is most likely that you set `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE="awesome-patched"`, but
|
||||
did not install an [awesome-font](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts). For most other modes, you need a [powerline-patched](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) font.
