Install a nerd font on ubuntu

instructions.md

1.) Download a Nerd Font

2.) Unzip and copy to ~/.fonts

3.) Run the command fc-cache -fv to manually rebuild the font cache

@p6002 for linux, open a text editor and paste the code from @donovan . Then you can save it as installFonts.sh. Your will then have to make it runnable from the properties context menu for the file. Then run it in a terminal with ./installFonts.sh

Thanks, but I have already made several approaches to these fonts, hours-long approaches.
There were always unfixable problems, errors, bad characters. Which was frustrating enough, since it's just a theme and should work with a single command.
For now I'm watching the project and waiting for someone to write proper documentation with steps on how to install this theme. Currently it's such a mess there that I think only the author can use it.

It took an embarrassingly long amount of time for me to realize nerd-fonts the Github repo already comes with an install.sh script.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git    # warning: takes a while

cd nerd-fonts/
./install.sh FiraCode

(or whatever other font you want -- or all of them if you just run ./install.sh by itself.

Thank you, @hiAndrewQuinn

@hiAndrewQuinn's example should probably be on the main README considering the amount of us that have ended up here.

I still waiting for proper documentation how to install and use it.
In the meantime, I started the rack, I learned how to use Docker, I run services through Docker Compose and several VMs without any problems. But I still can't install the fonts...

@Sephyros absolutely amazing 👍

Hi guys, after testing several linux distros and having to configure and customize my terminal and shell every time, I decided to create this script that downloads directly from the Nerd Fonts repository, use it as you like and if you want to contribute something, feel free.

The documentation on how to use the script is in the readme:

Thanks @mcarvalho1!

@donovan @Sephyros thanks both
