This wasn't too difficult to do for Ubuntu 15.04 and I assume the process for 14.04 would be the same. I first had to install zsh

sudo apt-get install zsh

and then restart my computer. I don't know why I had to restart but installing oh-my-zsh wouldn't work properly until I did. Then you need to make sure git is installed.

sudo apt-get install git

Once I restarted my computer I installed oh-my-zsh.

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

OR if you have curl

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

Finally make zsh your default shell

chsh -s /bin/zsh

After these things are installed all you need to do is add babun theme to your oh-my-zsh/themes folder.

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom
wget https://github.com/babun/babun/blob/master/babun-core/plugins/oh-my-zsh/src/babun.zsh-theme

Then edit your .zshrc Find the line:

ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

and change it to:

ZSH_THEME="babun"

For the default ubuntu terminal I went to edit > profile preferences > colors And added the colors found at minttyrc.

  • Uncheck: Use colors from system theme
  • Uncheck: Use transparent background
  • Uncheck: Use transparency from system theme
  • Check: Same as text color
  • Change all color boxes to the values below:
Text Color Background Color
#d0d0d0 #1c1c1c
  Black Red Green Yellow Blue Magenta Cyan White
Normal #0c0c0c #d78787 #afd787 #f7f7af #87afd7 #d7afd7 #afd7d7 #e6e6e6
Bright/Bold #0a0a0a #df8787 #afdf87 #ffffaf #87afdf #dfafdf #afdfdf #eeeeee

I don't know how to automate the color changes. I was looking for a dot file that stores these colors but I couldn't find one. If someone knows where it is I would love to be able to automate this in a shell script so I can have a gist to put this setup on any new Ubuntu installation.
