### Installation
There are three different forms of installation that you can use to make use of
this theme:
You just need to install the theme and set `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='compatible'`
to join the experience. If you want to customize your experience even further
read the chapter about "[fonts](#fonts)" or about "[segment customization](#segment-customization)".
* Normal - Theme + Powerline Fonts
* Über - Theme + Awesome Powerline Fonts
* Bare Bones - Theme Only

#### Install Powerline Fonts for Normal Configuration
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.
#### Alternative Configuration: Über
Alternatively, you can install [Awesome Powerline
Fonts](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/patching-strategy/patched),
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-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:

#### Alternative Configuration: Bare Bones
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.

You can configure the look and feel of your prompt easily with some built-in

#### Fonts
If you set `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='compatible'` you just get a little glimpse of
the beauty of this theme.
To get nicer Icons you need to install a [powerline-patched](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts) font.
In your terminal emulator you need to select this font and in your `~/.zshrc` you need
to set `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='powerline-patched'`.
You can find the [installation instructions 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.

If even these Icons did not impress you, have a look at `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-patched'`.
For this mode, you have to install a [awesome-patched](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/patching-strategy/patched) font and set the according mode.

If you prefer segements as rectangles, just set `POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='flat'`, but
beware: You still need a [awesome-patched](https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/patching-strategy/patched) font.
