How to install

iTerm2

http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/downloads

Get the iTerm color settings

https://raw.github.com/altercation/solarized/master/iterm2-colors-solarized/Solarized%20Dark.itermcolors

Apply them in iTerm through iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> colors -> load presets -> import. You can create a different profile, other than Default if you wish to do so.

Then open the itermcolors file, click load presets again and load the "Solarized Dark".

Oh my zsh

More info here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

curl -L https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | sh

edit ~/.zshrc and set ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

Install a patched font

https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts/blob/master/Meslo/Meslo%20LG%20M%20DZ%20Regular%20for%20Powerline.otf

Set this font in iTerm2 (14px) (iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> text).

  • Regular Font -> "Change Font"

  • Non-ASCII Font -> "Change Font"

Restart iTerm for all changes to take effect.

Shorter prompt style

By default, your prompt will now show “user@hostname” in the prompt. This will make your prompt rather bloated. Optionally set DEFAULT_USER in ~/.zshrc to your regular username (these must match) to hide the “user@hostname” info when you’re logged in as yourself on your local machine.
