Plugin Specific Installation

Color Scheme

For a Vim colorscheme, I use Solarized. I install it as the default colorscheme in iTerm2 and Vim inherits the colorscheme. Installation instructions can be found in the solarized submodule of this repository or here.

Patched fonts for vim-airline

Install patched fonts from powerline.

Pick a font you like - I like FiraMono regular - and download it. Then right click the font in the Downloads folder and select "Open with" and then FontBook. Install the font in FontBook, then choose that font as the default in your iTerm2 profile. After that you should see the fancy triangle shaped characters in the status line.
