Add .zprofile to the list of startup files
Zim does not use/modify .zprofile in it's templates. For completeness/
performance, the .zprofile should be compiled/cleaned if present.

Installation

Installing Zim is easy:

  • With curl:

    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
    
  • With wget:

    wget -nv -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
    

Open a new terminal and you're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the available modules and tweak your .zshrc file.

If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto), uninstall those first to prevent conflicts.

Manual installation

  1. Start a Zsh shell

    zsh
    
  2. Set Zsh as the default shell:

    chsh -s =zsh
    
  3. Copy https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/zimfw/master/zimfw.zsh to ~/.zim/zimfw.zsh.

  4. Add the lines in the following templates to the respective dot files:

  5. Install the modules defined in ~/.zimrc and build the initialization scripts:

    source ~/.zim/zimfw.zsh install
    

Usage

zmodule

Add zmodule calls to your ~/.zimrc file to define the modules to be initialized. The modules are initialized in the same order they are defined. Add:

zmodule <url> [-n|--name <module_name>] [options]

where <url> is the required repository URL or path. The following formats are equivalent: name, zimfw/name, https://github.com/zimfw/name.git.

By default, the module name is the last component in the <url>. Use the -n|--name <module_name> option to set a custom module name.

Repository options

  • -b|--branch <branch_name>: Use specified branch when installing and updating the module. Overrides the tag option. Default: master.
  • -t|--tag <tag_name>: Use specified tag when installing and updating the module. Overrides the branch option.
  • -z|--frozen: Don't install or update the module.

Initialization options

  • -f|--fpath <path>: Add specified path to fpath. The path is relative to the module root directory. Default: functions, if the subdirectory exists.
  • -a|--autoload <function_name>: Autoload specified function. Default: all valid names inside the module's specified fpath paths.
  • -s|--source <file_path>: Source specified file. The file path is relative to the module root directory. Default: the file with largest size matching {init.zsh|module_name.{zsh|plugin.zsh|zsh-theme|sh}}, if any exists.
  • -d|--disabled: Don't use or uninstall the module.

zimfw

Added new modules to ~/.zimrc? Run:

zimfw install

Removed modules from ~/.zimrc? Run:

zimfw uninstall

Want to update your modules to their latest revisions? Run:

zimfw update

Want to upgrade ~/.zim/zimfw.zsh to the latest version? Run:

zimfw upgrade

For more information about the zimfw tool, run zimfw with no parameters.

Uninstalling

The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete ~/.zim, ~/.zimrc, and remove the initialization lines from your ~/.zshenv, ~/.zshrc and ~/.zlogin.
