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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. In Zsh, clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Eriner/zim.git ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zim
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the template configuration files (or append to existing configs):
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
|
|
|
|
|
for template_file ( ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zim/templates/* ); do
|
|
|
|
|
cat ${template_file} | tee -a ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.$(basename ${template_file}) > /dev/null
|
|
|
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Set Zsh as the default shell:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
chsh -s $(which zsh)
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Open a new terminal and admire your work!
