install-oh-my-zsh-on-ubuntu.txt

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core
Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh
and then you change your shell to zsh

chsh -s `which zsh`
#and then restart
sudo shutdown -r 0
This problem is explained in depth in this issue


You need the Powerline font to have your CLI with show git icons correctly
sudo apt install fonts-powerline

cd fonts
./install.sh

hange theme colors to solarize
dconf is required if you don't already have it.

sudo apt-get install dconf-cli
git clone git://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git ~/.solarized
cd ~/.solarized
./install.sh
I recommend you option 1 (dark theme) which is just great.
Choose option 1 to download seebi' dircolors-solarized
After installation, open .zshrc and add the line:

eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors/dircolors`
