Getting Started

Welcome aboard! Let's install Spaceship on your machine, astronaut!

Requirements

Before we begin, let's make sure you have the following installed:

  • Zsh (v5.2 or recent) must be installed. Run the following command to check you version of Zsh: 
    echo $ZSH_VERSION #> 5.8.1
  • Powerline Font or Nerd Font (even better) must be installed and used in your terminal. Fira Code is a popular choice. To check if Powerline Font works for you, run: 
    echo -e "\xee\x82\xa0" #> 

Installing

Now that the requirements are satisfied, you can install Spaceship via any of the following approaches:

Hint

If you're using any plugin manager, like Oh-My-Zsh, antigen, zgen, zplug or other, this might not be the best way to install Spaceship for you.

  1. Clone this repo somewhere, for example to $HOME/.zsh/spaceship.
  2. Source Spaceship in your ~/.zshrc.

Example

Terminal
mkdir -p "$HOME/.zsh"
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt.git "$HOME/.zsh/spaceship"

For initializing prompt system add this to your .zshrc:

.zshrc
source "~/.zsh/spaceship/spaceship.zsh"

Installing Spaceship via Homebrew is a simple command:

Terminal
brew install spaceship

Add prompt initialization to your .zshrc:

Terminal
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/opt/spaceship/spaceship.zsh" >>! ~/.zshrc

Tip

You can also add the following to your Brewfile to bundle Spaceship along with your other software:

Brewfile
brew "spaceship"

Clone this repo:

Terminal
git clone https://github.com/spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt.git "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt" --depth=1

Symlink spaceship.zsh-theme to your oh-my-zsh custom themes directory:

Terminal
ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt/spaceship.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship.zsh-theme"

Set ZSH_THEME="spaceship" in your .zshrc.

Install Spaceship via npm as you would with any other global package:

Terminal
npm install -g spaceship-prompt

This command will download Spaceship. It will also ask you to source Spaceship in your ~/.zshrc file.

Tip

Update Spaceship to new versions as you would any other package.

  • Follow prezto-contrib#usage to clone prezto-contrib to the proper location.
  • Enable the contrib-prompt module (before the prompt module).
  • Set zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'spaceship' in your .zpreztorc.

Add Spaceship to your .zimrc:

.zimrc
zmodule spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt --name spaceship

Then install Spaceship:

Terminal
zim install

Add the following snippet in your .zshrc:

.zshrc
antigen theme spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt

Update your .zshrc file with the following line:

.zshrc
antibody bundle spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt

Add the following line to your .zshrc where you're adding your other Zsh plugins:

.zshrc
zinit light spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt

Add the following line to your .zshrc where you're adding your other Zsh plugins:

.zshrc
zgen load spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt spaceship

Use this command in your .zshrc to load Spaceship as prompt theme:

.zshrc
zplug "spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt", use:spaceship.zsh, from:github, as:theme

Add the following to your plugins.toml file (open it with sheldon edit):

plugins.toml
[plugins.spaceship]
github = "spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt"

Or run the following to automatically add it:

Terminal
sheldon add spaceship --github spaceship-prompt/spaceship-prompt

Install the latest master from the AUR package spaceship-prompt-git:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spaceship-prompt-git.git --depth=1
cd spaceship-prompt-git
makepkg -si
