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. Arch users can install
|
|
[zsh-zim-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-zim-git/) from the AUR. It can be installed manually
|
|
by following the instructions below:
|
|
|
|
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}"
|
|
touch ${user_file}
|
|
( print -rn "$(<${template_file})$(<${user_file})" >! ${user_file} ) 2>/dev/null
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Set Zsh as the default shell:
|
|
```
|
|
chsh -s =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.
