Step 1. Install ZSH
sudo pacman -S zsh
Step 2. Make ZSH default
chsh -s $(which zsh)
Step 3. Install font for powerlevel10k
Download these four ttf files and then install by double clicking each of them.
*MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf
*MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf
*MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf
*MesloLGS NF Bold Italic.ttf
Step 4. Log Out / Restart your machine
Step 5. Change Terminal font
First of all make sure your default terminal is ZSH by echo $SHELL. The return should be /usr/bin/zsh
Then from terminal goto Settings > Edit Current profile > Appearance > Choose > MesloLGS NF
Step 6. Powerlevel10k installation
Clone the repo
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
Source the powerlevel10k theme script in your .zshrc
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc
Step 7. Configure Powerlevel10k
Close and reopen terminal. You should prompt with powerlevel10k configuration
If you don't get anything like this then run p10k configure
Step 8 (Optional). Fix "p10k configure: cannot create /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh because /usr/share/zsh is readonly" error
After running p10k configure if you get this error follow this step.
kate /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt
You can use nano or other text editor instead of kate
Now put a # at the beginning of line 15 or copy and replace this at line 15 then save the file.
#[[ ! -f /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh ]] || source /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh
Now close and open terminal again to get the configuration wizard.
Step 9. Install Autosuggestion and Syntax Highlighting Plugin
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions
echo 'source ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh'>>~/.zshrc
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
echo 'source ./zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh'>>~/.zshrc
Run these 4 command then restart the terminal and see the magic!!!
