Installation of zsh (z-shell) with oh-my-zsh in Arch Linux
Preparation
You would like to install the package manager yay instead of pacman first:
Yay installation
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
You can find support at https://github.com/Jguer/yay
Installation
yay oh-my-zsh
Configuration
You can either copy the theme from this repository or even more flexible
when you first clone this repository and then make a link from the themes folder to this repository.
Just copy the file
Copy the file smd.zsh-theme of this repository to the themes directory, like
sudo wget -P /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/themes https://git.kuschel.at/public/smd.zsh-theme/releases/download/1.0/smd.zsh-theme
Then copy the zsh template zshrc to your home directory
cp /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc
Make a link from a cloned folder (the more experienced one)
Goto a new user folder e.g. mkdir -p ~/gitea and cd ~/gitea
Make a clone:
git clone https:\\https://git.kuschel.at/public/smd.zsh-theme.git
cd /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/themes
sudo ln -s $HOME/gitea/smd.zsh-theme/smd.zsh-theme
Further steps:
Now you have to edit this file with e.g. nano -cl ~/.zshrc
an` replace the line with ZSH_THEME to:
ZSH_THEME="smd"
In addition, I like to replace the HIST_STAMPS to:
HIST_STAMPS="yyyy-mm-dd"
Last step change the shell and try to reload omz with:
sudo chsh
Now you have to enter the new shell /bin/zsh
I would recommand to log out and log back into the system to see the zsh, as this is now your default shell for the future.
