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*. Then put following instructions at the end of your `~/.zshrc`:
```bash
# Zim initializition
export ZIM_HOME="$HOME/.zsh"
if [ ! -f "$ZIM_HOME/init.zsh" ]; then
echo "Installing zim"
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git $ZIM_HOME
cat $ZIM_HOME/templates/zlogin >> $HOME/.zlogin
source $HOME/.zlogin
fi
zmodules=(git git-info prompt completion syntax-highlighting autosuggestions fzf-zsh)
zprompt_theme='steeef'
zhighlighters=(main brackets cursor)
source $ZIM_HOME/init.zsh #make sure init after zmodules lists etcs..
```
You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the [available modules][modules] and tweak your `.zshrc` file.
