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. In a Zsh shell, clone the repository:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.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.
|
|
|
|
Updating
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
To update zim, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zmanage update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information about the `zmanage` tool, see the [meta module][meta-module] documentation.
|
|
|
|
Uninstalling
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The best way to remove zim is to manually delete `~/.zim`, `~/.zimrc`, and
|
|
remove the initialization lines from your `~/.zshrc`.
|
|
|
|
However, there are some **experimental** convenience functions to remove zim:
