Getting oh-my-zsh to work in Ubuntu
Raw
zsh.md

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

installation

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

powerline

wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf
wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/10-powerline-symbols.conf

Then you need to move the font to your fonts directory, /usr/share/fonts/ or /usr/local/share/fonts as follows or you can get the valid font paths by using command xset q.

mv PowerlineSymbols.otf /usr/share/fonts/

Next, you need to update your system’s font cache as follows.

fc-cache -vf /usr/share/fonts/

Now install the fontconfig file.

mv 10-powerline-symbols.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
