# How to install

## iTerm2

- [Download](http://www.iterm2.com/downloads.html) and install iTerm2 (it has better color fidelity than the built in Terminal).
    
Get the iTerm color settings

- [Solarized Dark theme](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altercation/solarized/master/iterm2-colors-solarized/Solarized%20Dark.itermcolors)
- [Solarized Light theme](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altercation/solarized/master/iterm2-colors-solarized/Solarized%20Light.itermcolors)
- [More themes @ iterm2colorschemes](http://iterm2colorschemes.com/)
    
Just save it somewhere and open the file(s). The color settings will be imported into iTerm2. Apply them in iTerm through iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> colors -> load presets. You can create a different profile, other than Default if you wish to do so.

## Install with curl
    
    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
    
When the installation is done, edit `~/.zshrc` and set `ZSH_THEME="agnoster"`

## Install a patched font

- [Meslo](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts/blob/master/Meslo/Meslo%20LG%20M%20DZ%20Regular%20for%20Powerline.otf) (the one in the screenshot). Click "view raw" to download the font.
- [Others @ powerline fonts](https://github.com/powerline/fonts)
    
Open the downloaded font and press "Install Font".

Set this font in iTerm2 (14px is my personal preference) (iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> text).

- Regular Font -> "Change Font"
- Non-ASCII Font -> "Change Font"

Restart iTerm2 for all changes to take effect.

## Enable word jumps

By default, word jumps (options + → or ←) do not work. You can make this work by going to iTerm - preferences - Keys.

Under global shortcut keys, add the following keyboard shortcuts:

### Option + right

```
⌥→
Send Escape Sequence
f
```

### Option + left

```
⌥←
Send Escape Sequence
b
```

## Shorter prompt style

By default, your prompt will now show “user@hostname” in the prompt. This will make your prompt rather bloated. Optionally set `DEFAULT_USER` in `~/.zshrc` to your regular username (these must match) to hide the “user@hostname” info when you’re logged in as yourself on your local machine. You can check your username value by executing `whoami` in the terminal.
