# 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.
