Installation
------------
Prezto will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum required
version is 4.3.11.
1. Launch Zsh:
```console
zsh
```
2. Clone the repository:
```console
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"
```
3. Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh configuration files
provided:
```sh
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/^README.md(.N); do
ln -s "$rcfile" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.${rcfile:t}"
done
```
Note: If you already have any of the given config files, ln will error. In
simple cases you can add `source "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto/init.zsh"` to
the bottom of your `.zshrc` to load prezto but keep your config intact. For
more complicated setups, it is recommended that you back up your original
configs and replace them with the provided prezto runcoms.
4. Set Zsh as your default shell:
```console
chsh -s /bin/zsh
```
5. Open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
### Troubleshooting
If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to *Prezto*,
modify the `PATH` variable in *~/.zprofile* then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
Updating
--------
Run `zprezto-update` to automatically check if there is an update to zprezto.
7 years ago
If there are no file conflicts, zprezto and its submodules will be
automatically updated. If there are conflicts you will instructed to go into
the `$ZPREZTODIR` directory and resolve them yourself.
To pull the latest changes and update submodules manually:
```console
cd $ZPREZTODIR
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
Usage
-----
Prezto has many features disabled by default. Read the source code and
accompanying README files to learn of what is available.
### Modules
1. Browse */modules* to see what is available.
2. Load the modules you need in *~/.zpreztorc* then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
### Themes
1. For a list of themes, type `prompt -l`.
2. To preview a theme, type `prompt -p name`.
3. Load the theme you like in *~/.zpreztorc* then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
![sorin theme][2]
### External Modules
1. By default modules will be loaded from */modules* and */contrib*.
2. Additional module directories can be added to the
`:prezto:load:pmodule-dirs` setting in *~/.zpreztorc*.
Note that module names need to be unique or they will cause an error when
loading.
```console
zstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule-dirs $HOME/.zprezto-contrib
```
