#### Create `~/.zimrc`
You must create your `.zimrc` file at `~/.zimrc`, if the `ZDOTDIR` environment

referred to as `~/.zimrc` in the documentation for the sake of simplicity.
This file configures the `zimfw` plugin manager. It's referred to as `~/.zimrc`
in the documentation for the sake of simplicity, but the actual location of the
file is defined following these rules:
You can start with just:
1. You can define the full path and name of the file with a `ZIM_CONFIG_FILE`
environment variable. For example:
```zsh
ZIM_CONFIG_FILE=~/.config/zsh/zimrc
```
2. Or, if you defined a `ZDOTDIR` environment variable, then the file must be at
`${ZDOTDIR}/.zimrc`
3. Otherwise, it must be at at `~/.zimrc`, which is it's default location.
As for the contents of the file, you can start with just:
```zsh
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
zmodule zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
```
If you also want one of our prompt [themes]:
```
```zsh
