Installation
------------
Installing Zim is easy. If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto),
*uninstall those first to prevent conflicts*. It can be installed manually by following the instructions below:
1. Start a Zsh shell:
zsh
2. Clone the repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
3. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs:
for template_file in ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/*; do
user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}"
cat ${template_file} ${user_file}(.N) > ${user_file}.tmp && mv ${user_file}{.tmp,}
done
4. Set Zsh as the default shell:
chsh -s =zsh
5. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):
source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin
6. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the [available modules][modules] and tweak your `.zshrc` file.
Updating
--------
To update Zim, run:

Uninstalling
------------
The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshrc` and `~/.zlogin`.
However, there are some **experimental** convenience functions to remove Zim:
