### 1. Setup your terminal
Oh my Posh uses ANSI color codes under the hood, these should work everywhere,
but you may have to set `$TERM` to `xterm-256color` for it to work.
:::caution Font icons
For maximum enjoyment, make sure to **install** and **configure** your terminal to use a powerline enabled font.
The fonts we use are patched by [Nerd Fonts][nerdfonts], which offer a maximum of icons you can use to configure your prompt.
:::
Oh my Posh was designed using [Meslo LGM NF][meslo], so if you happen to see missing icons either change to that font or replace the icons
by changing the [theme][themes] to your liking.
### 2. Download the latest binary
<Tabs
defaultValue="windows"

{ label: 'windows', value: 'windows', },

If you're looking to use the shell in PowerShell, there's a [PowerShell package][powershell] for your enjoyment that facilitates the whole process.
But, if you insist on doing it manually, or you use a pre-core version of PowerShell, here you go :-)
```powershell
mkdir C:\tools
Invoke-Webrequest https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/releases/latest/download/posh-windows-amd64.exe -OutFile C:\tools\oh-my-posh.exe
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="macos">
```bash
wget https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/releases/latest/download/posh-darwin-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/oh-my-posh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/oh-my-posh
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="unix">
```bash
wget https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh3/releases/latest/download/posh-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/oh-my-posh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/oh-my-posh
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### 3. Download a theme
Find a [theme][themes] you like, download it and store it somewhere you can find it again.
### 4. Replace your existing prompt
<Tabs
defaultValue="powershell"
values={[
{ label: 'powershell', value: 'powershell', },
{ label: 'zsh', value: 'zsh', },
{ label: 'bash', value: 'bash', },
{ label: 'nix', value: 'nix', },
{ label: 'fish', value: 'fish', },
]
}>
<TabItem value="powershell">
Edit `$PROFILE` in your preferred PowerShell version and add the following lines.
```powershell
[ScriptBlock]$Prompt = {
$realLASTEXITCODE = $global:LASTEXITCODE
& "C:\tools\oh-my-posh.exe" -config "~/downloadedtheme.json" -error $realLASTEXITCODE -pwd $PWD
$global:LASTEXITCODE = $realLASTEXITCODE
Remove-Variable realLASTEXITCODE -Confirm:$false
}
Set-Item -Path Function:prompt -Value $Prompt -Force
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="zsh">
Add the following to `~/.zshrc`:
```bash
function powerline_precmd() {
PS1="$(oh-my-posh -config ~/downloadedtheme.json --error $?)"
}
function install_powerline_precmd() {
for s in "${precmd_functions[@]}"; do
if [ "$s" = "powerline_precmd" ]; then
return
fi
done
precmd_functions+=(powerline_precmd)
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ]; then
install_powerline_precmd
fi
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="bash">
Add the following to `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.profile` on MacOS):
```bash
function _update_ps1() {
PS1="$(oh-my-posh -config ~/downloadedtheme.json -error $?)"
}
if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -x "$(command -v oh-my-posh)" ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
fi
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="nix">
When using `nix-shell --pure`, `oh-my-posh` will not be accessible, and
your prompt will not appear.
As a workaround you can add this snippet to `~/.bashrc`,
which should re-enable the prompt in most cases:
```bash
# Workaround for nix-shell --pure
if [ "$IN_NIX_SHELL" == "pure" ]; then
if [ -x oh-my-posh ]; then
alias powerline-go="oh-my-posh -config ~/downloadedtheme.json"
fi
fi
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="fish">
Redefine `fish_prompt` in `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
```bash
function fish_prompt
eval oh-my-posh -config ~/downloadedtheme.json -error $status
end
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Make sure `~/downloadedtheme.json` points to your downloaded or adjusted theme. If the theme would be invalid, the default Agnoster prompt is printed.
