¶ Install ZSH on your server
- Update the system and install zsh with the following command
sudo apt update && sudo apt install zsh
- Change your shell to zsh (select /bin/zsh), logout and log back in

-
Now we can install Oh-My-ZSH
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
¶ Plugins
- First we will install auto suggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
sudo apt install -y fonts-font-awesome
- Now we edit the .zshrc file and add the new plugins and theme
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.
plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)
# See https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
- Logout and log back in. Once you do, you will be prompted with a ton of questions on customizing your look and feel. Aswer accordingly and have fun. Below are screenshots of all the prompts so you can see what I am talking about
Thant's it!
