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. It can be installed manually by following the instructions below:

  1. Start a Zsh shell:

    zsh

  2. Clone the repository:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim

  3. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs:

    for template_file in ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/*; do

     user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}"
     cat ${template_file} ${user_file}(.N) > ${user_file}.tmp && mv ${user_file}{.tmp,}
    

    done

  4. Set Zsh as the default shell:

    chsh -s =zsh

  5. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):

    source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin

  6. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the available modules and tweak your .zshrc file.

Updating

To update Zim, run:

zmanage update

For more information about the zmanage tool, run zmanage help.

Uninstalling

The best way to remove Zim is to manually delete ~/.zim, ~/.zimrc, and remove the initialization lines from your ~/.zshrc and ~/.zlogin.

However, there are some experimental convenience functions to remove Zim:

NOTE: This functionality is experimental!
