Before we begin, let's make sure you have the following installed:
Zsh (v5.2 or recent) must be installed. Run the following command to check your version of Zsh:
echo $ZSH_VERSION #> 5.8.1
Powerline Font or Nerd Font (even better) must be installed and used in your terminal. Fira Code is a popular choice. To check if Powerline Font works for you, run:
echo -e "xeex82xa0" #>
Here are a few popular methods to install Spaceship. Select the one you use from the list below:
brew install spaceship
Add prompt initialization to your .zshrc:
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/opt/spaceship/spaceship.zsh" >>! ~/.zshrc
git clone https://github.com/spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt.git "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt" --depth=1
Symlink spaceship.zsh-theme to your oh-my-zsh custom themes directory:
ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt/spaceship.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship.zsh-theme"
Set ZSH_THEME="spaceship" in your .zshrc.
npm install -g spaceship-prompt
This command will download Spaceship. It will also ask you to source Spaceship in your ~/.zshrc file.
Follow prezto-contrib#usage to clone prezto-contrib to the proper location.
Enable the contrib-prompt module (before the prompt module).
Set zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'spaceship' in your .zpreztorc.
zmodule spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt --name spaceship --no-submodules
Then, install Spaceship:
zimfw install
antigen theme spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt
antibody bundle spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt
zinit light spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt
zgen load spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt spaceship
zplug "spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt", use:spaceship.zsh, from:github, as:theme
[plugins.spaceship]github = "spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt"
Or run the following to automatically add it:
sheldon add spaceship --github spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt
Install the latest release from the AUR package spaceship-prompt:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spaceship-prompt.git cd spaceship-prompt makepkg -si
or using yay:
yay -S spaceship-prompt
Also there is an unmaintained git package spaceship-prompt-git.
If none of the above methods works for you, you can install Spaceship manually.
Clone this repo somewhere, for example to $HOME/.zsh/spaceship.
Source Spaceship in your ~/.zshrc.
mkdir -p "$HOME/.zsh"git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt.git "$HOME/.zsh/spaceship"
For initializing prompt system, add this to your .zshrc:
source "$HOME/.zsh/spaceship/spaceship.zsh"
