## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't yet have a Powerline font installed, follow the
|
||||
[font installation guide](https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Install-Instructions#step-2-install-a-powerline-font)
|
||||
from Powerlevel9k. Once you have a working Powerline font installed, proceed with the installation
|
||||
of Powerlevel10k as described below.
|
||||
Installation is virtually the same as in Powerlevel9k. If you managed to install Powerlevel9k, you'll be able to install Powerlevel10k.

powerlevel9k/master is the stable branch of powerlevel9k, the one that virtually everyone uses.
|
||||
powerlevel9k/next is the development branch for the next release.
|

|
||||
Here's how the prompt looked like during benchmarking.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It was identical in Powerlevel10k and Powerlevel9k. Even though Powerlevel10k can dynamically
|
||||
switch to async prompts, it wasn't happening during the benchmark because latencies were low.
|
||||
Prompts with both themes were essentially synchronous, with every prompt having up-to-date git info
|
||||
(no greyed-out vcs/git segments).
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration that was used:
|
||||
|
||||
```zsh
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(dir_writable dir vcs)
|
||||
POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status time)

### Are there configuration options that make Powerlevel10k slow?

No, Powerlevel10k is always fast, with any configuration you throw at it. If you have noticeable

### Does Powerlevel10k always render exactly the same prompt as Powerlevel9k given the same config?
|

|

This is the goal. You should be able to switch between Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k with no
|
||||
visible changes except for performance. There are, however, several differences.
|

|

* By default only git vcs backend is enabled in Powerlevel10k. If you need svn and hg, you'll
|

need to set `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_BACKENDS`. See

[extensions](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/EXTENDED_CONFIGURATION.md). If
|
||||
you use them, you'll get different prompt when you switch to Powerlevel9k. However, extensions
|
||||
are designed with graceful degradation in mind, so your prompt will still be functional.
|
||||
* Fewer configuration options can be changed after the theme is loaded. For example, if you
|
||||
decide to change background color of some segment in the middle of an interactive session,
|

it may not work.

### Are changes getting up/down-streamed?

Powerlevel10k regularly pulls changes from Powerlevel9k, so all bug fixes and new features that land
|

in Powerlevel9k will land here, too. This is a labor-intensive process because Powerlevel9k and

Powerlevel10k have very different code. Thankfully, there aren't many changes in Powerlevel9k.
