ZSH (using Oh My ZSH) on Manjaro Linux

0. If ZSH is not already installed on your Manjaro system you can do it with the command:

sudo pacman -Syu zsh

You do not need to install manjaro-zsh-config and all the other related packages like zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-history-substring-search, zsh-autosuggestions, etc., as we will use Oh My Zsh.

1. Install Oh My ZSH

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

or

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

2. Installation of two important plugins I can't live without

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

and

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

3. Configuring zsh

Modify the ~/.zshrc config file editting plugins section like this:

plugins=(
    git
    zsh-autosuggestions
    zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

Change the theme to agnoster:

ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

4. Logout/logon or apply the changes with:

source ~/.zshrc

5. Make zsh default if you haven't already:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

6. Enjoy!

P.S. Pls, note that this can be outdated and not relevant. I'm not currently using Manjaro as my daily driver.

I am setting my plugins on the manjaro-zsh-config. I set plugins on the ~/.zshrc but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. .zshrc file:

USE_POWERLINE="true"
# Source manjaro-zsh-configuration
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config
fi
# Use manjaro zsh prompt
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt
fi

# Enable BuildKit
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1
export BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM='offscreen'``` 

For anyone with this problem, you should not edit any of this before installing oh my zsh trough the provided links. The config file .zshrc will change on installation.

Is there a way to replicate a zsh configuration to another distro linux?
