Muri's Unix Terminal Customization Guide

Overview

This guide details my custom terminal setup for UNIX-based systems (MacOS/Linux). It includes information on using iTerm2 for MacOS and the default terminal app for Ubuntu.

Note for MacOS Users: I've previously installed this theme on MacOS, but the terminal commands differ from those for Linux. You might need to modify the .sh files for MacOS compatibility.

Getting Started: Prerequisites

Ensure your system meets these minimum requirements:

# Refresh your software repositories
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

# Install Git
sudo apt-get install -y git

# Install Vim
sudo apt-get install -y vim

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Powerline Fonts

Install RobotoMono for Powerline (used in VIM and terminal theme) with the following script:

./install_powerline.sh

Step 2: ZSH, OhMyZSH, and Plugins

Install ZSH, OhMyZSH, and required plugins. Restart your system after this step.

./install_terminal.sh

Step 3: Terminal Profile Customization

This step involves installing plugins for auto-complete and color highlighting, setting up .zshrc and the custom mvanzulli-agnoster.zsh-theme, and configuring the terminal profile with the Powerline font.

./install_profile.sh

Alternative Fonts: Feel free to try other Powerline Patched Fonts if RobotoMono isn't to your liking.

Troubleshooting

If the theme appears incorrectly, ensure you've installed a Powerline font and consider restarting your machine.
