Sometimes, using the default terminal sucks. You want to go out of the ordinary, to add life to the boring terminal and improve your productivity.
Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell built on top of bash (the default shell for macOS) with a large number of improvements.
In this walk-through, we will configure iTerm2 with ZSH and its dependencies. This is a no-brainer, and after this, you'll ponder the reason for not discovering ZSH earlier. Well, since you're here already, let's kick-start this.
Keynotes
- Homebrew installation
- iTerm2 installation
- ZSH and Oh My ZSH installations
- Setting up the dependencies to create a beautiful terminal
Step 1: Install Homebrew
Homebrew is a free and open-source software package management system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's macOS. Valley (itch) (redye) mac os.
Before installing Homebrew, we need to install the CLI tools for Xcode. Open your terminal and run the command:
If you get an error, run xcode-select -r to reset xcode-select.
Then, install Homebrew.
Step 2: Install iTerm2
iTerm2 is a replacement for terminal and the successor to iTerm. Most software engineers prefer iTerm2 over the default terminal that ships with macOS as a result of its cool features. You can integrate zsh into iTerm2 to increase productivity.
To install iTerm2, run the command:
Step 3: Install ZSH
Zsh is a shell designed for interactive use, although it is also a powerful scripting language.
By default, macOs ships with zsh located in/bin/zsh.
Fsdh Mac Os Download
Let's install zsh using brew and make iTerm2 use it.
Step 4: Install Oh My Zsh
'Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. It will not make you a 10x developer…but you might feel like one'
— Robby Russell
It runs on Zsh to provide cool features configurable within the ~/.zhrc config file. Install Oh My Zsh by running the command
Check the installed version
You can upgrade it to get the latest features it offers.
Restart iTerm2 to dive into the new experience of using Zsh. Welcome to the 'Oh My Zsh' world ?.
That's not all. Now, we will install the dependencies to get the best out of Zsh.
Mac Os Versions
Step 5: Change the Default Theme
Oh My Zsh comes bundled with a lot of themes. The default theme is robbyrussell, but you can change it to any theme of your choice. In this scenario, I changed it to agnoster, an already pre-installed theme.
You then need to select this theme in your ~/.zshrc. To open the config file (.zshrc), run the command:
Or open the file in a text editor with
Set the zsh theme and update your changes
Using a Custom Theme
Fsdh Mac Os 11
To install another theme not pre-installed, clone the repository into custom/themesdirectory. In this scenario, we'll install powerlevel9k,
Then, select this theme in your ~/.zshrc
Update your changes by running the command source ~/.zshrc
Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Colors if you wish to change the background color of the terminal.
The selected theme in this scenario requires powerline fonts. So, let's install that.
Step 6: Install Fonts
Cerulean days - demo mac os. I will be using Inconsolata. Get your preferred font out of these powerline fonts. Then, download and install it.
Or download the entire font.
To change the font, navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Text > Change Font.
Now, you can see Inconsolata listed as one of the fonts. Select your preferred font. For fonts that support ligatures like FiraCode, check the 'Use ligatures' option to view your arrows and other operators in a stylish manner like ( → ).
Step 7: Install Color Scheme
Let's change the color scheme to bring out the beauty of our terminal. Navigate to iTerm2-Color-Schemes and download the ZIP folder. Then, extract the downloaded folder cos what we need resides in the schemes folder.
Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profile > Colors > Color Presets > Import Skyfall (itch) mac os.
- Navigate to the schemes folder and select your preferred color schemes to import them.
- Click on a specific color scheme to activate it. In this scenario, I activated Batman which is my preferred color scheme.
Tada! ? We're done with the basic settings.
Step 8: Install Plugins
Oh My ZSH comes preloaded with a git plugin. To add more, for instance, docker, auto-suggestion, syntax highlighting and more:
- Clone the Git repository
- Head over to
.oh-my-zsh > custom > pluginsdirectory to view the cloned directory. To access this, run the commandopen ~/.oh-my-zsh - Add the plugin to the plugin section of the config file
~/.zshrcshown below - Update your changes by running the command
source ~/.zshrc
Step 9: Add Aliases
Aliases are shortcuts used to reduce the time spent on typing commands. Add aliases to commands you run in the section shown below.

Dual-Booting Mac OS X and Windows Vista/7/8
Adding a pre-existing OS X installation to the Windows Vista+ bootloader is a very easy and straightforward process with EasyBCD. There are two ways to get OS X and Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 working together with the BCD/bootmgr bootloader, depending on the order of installation. A flat map mac os.
Windows Before OS X
This section covers booting Windows Vista and OS X together via the Windows bootloader assuming that you installed Vista first and now want to install OS X.
NeoSmart Technologies does not provide any instructions whatsoever on getting OS X installed. EasyBCD onlyboots intoOS X, nothing more, nothing less.
- Install OS X to a primary partition on your PC. Assuming you have the legitimate Dev Preview kit with the official OS X x86 DVD, just stick it in the drive and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Once OS X has finished installing, the Darwin bootloader should load up OS X for the first time. It should give you an 'Other' option to boot into Windows Vista.
- Select 'Other' and start Windows Vista.
- Fire-up EasyBCD, and go to the 'Bootloader Management' screen.
- Follow the instructions here to re-install the Vista bootloader.
- Read the next section for info on how to add OS X to the Vista bootloader.
OS X Before Windows
The most common setup for users looking to get OS running on their PCs involves a pre-existing OS X installation followed by a Windows Vista install. In this case, the computer boots into the Windows Vista bootloader, and does not have an option to boot into OS X.
- Fire-up EasyBCD, and navigate to the 'Add/Remove Entries' screen.
- Select 'Mac OS X' from the tabs at the top.
- From the platform drop-down list, select 'Generic x86 Hardware'
- If you wish to change the name from the default 'NST Mac OS X,' you may do so now.
- Select 'Auto-configure Mac Settings' and then hit 'Add Entry' to finish up.
You can now reboot your PC, and select 'NST Mac OS X' (or whatever you chose to call it) from the Vista bootloader. OS X should begin to boot immediately.
Troubleshooting
- Can you help me install OS X?
No! - The screen turns black and a few seconds later I'm at the Vista boot menu once again.
Press F8 once during the black-screen period. The Mac OS X menu should pop-up and give you the option of booting into OS X. - I get a 'HFS+ Partition Error' when I select OS X from the Vista bootloader… HELP!
EasyBCD 1.6 has a new feature in the Diagnostics Center for dealing with this particularly nasty bug. Fortunately, EasyBCD makes it really easy to deal with it: just select the 'HFS+ Partition Error' repair button, select your OS X drive and partition numbers from the list (drives start counting from 0, partitions start at 1), and hit the repair button!
