The Terminal Trio

You can use this repo to configure your ZSH Tmux and Prezto terminal.

This project is based on the original Prezto Repo.

Installing ZSH

Open a terminal window. Copy & paste the following into the terminal window and hit Return. You may be prompted to enter your password.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install zsh

Mac OS

Copy & paste the following into the terminal window and hit Return.

1. Install Homebrew

   ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.zshhubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   brew doctor

2. Instll ZSH

   brew install zsh

Installing TMUX

Linux Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install tmux

Mac OS

brew install tmux

Installing Prezto

1. Launch Zsh:

   zsh

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/alisezer/my-terminal.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.my-terminal"

3. Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh configuration files provided:

   setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
   for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.my-terminal/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:

   chsh -s /bin/zsh

5. Open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.

Updating

Run zprezto-update to automatically check if there is an update to zprezto. 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:

cd $ZPREZTODIR
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
