How to install

iTerm2

• Download and install iTerm2 (it has better color fidelity than the built in Terminal).

Get the iTerm color settings

• Dark theme (the one in the screenshot)
• Light theme
• More themes @ iterm2colorschemes

Just save it somewhere and open the file(s). The color settings will be imported into iTerm2. Apply them in iTerm through iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> colors -> load presets. You can create a different profile, other than Default if you wish to do so.

Oh my zsh

More info here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

curl -L https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | sh

edit ~/.zshrc and set ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

Install a patched font

• Meslo (the one in the screenshot)
• Others @ powerline fonts

Set this font in iTerm2 (14px is my personal preference) (iTerm -> preferences -> profiles -> text).

• Regular Font -> "Change Font"

• Non-ASCII Font -> "Change Font"

Restart iTerm for all changes to take effect.

Shorter prompt style

By default, your prompt will now show “user@hostname” in the prompt. This will make your prompt rather bloated. Optionally set DEFAULT_USER in ~/.zshrc to your regular username (these must match) to hide the “user@hostname” info when you’re logged in as yourself on your local machine.
