If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto), uninstall those first to prevent conflicts. 1. In a Zsh shell, clone the repository: ``` git clone --recursive https://github.com/Eriner/zim.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim ``` 2. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs: ``` setopt EXTENDED_GLOB for template_file ( ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/* ); do user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}" ( print -n "$(<${template_file})\n$(<${user_file})" >! ${user_file} ) 2>/dev/null done ``` 3. Set Zsh as the default shell: ``` chsh -s $(which zsh) ``` 4. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login): ``` source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin ``` 5. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the [available modules][modules] and tweak your `.zshrc` file.
