![Install](https://on.ahmda.ws/qWVC/c)

## Easy Installation

1. Drop the [`shades-of-purple.zsh-theme`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmadawais/shades-of-purple-iterm2/master/shades-of-purple.zsh-theme) file in to the `~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/` directory.
2. Open up your ZSH preferences at `~/.zshrc` and change the theme variable to `ZSH_THEME="shades-of-purple"`.
3. In iTerm2 access the *Preferences* pane on the *Profiles* tab.
4. Under the *Colors* tab import the [`shades-of-purple.itermcolors`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmadawais/shades-of-purple-iterm2/master/shades-of-purple.itermcolors) file via the *Load Presets* drop-down at the bottom right.
5. Under the *Text* tab change the font for each type (*Regular Font* to [Operator Mono](https://www.typography.com/fonts/operator/styles/) or [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode) or whatever you like, but for *Non-ASCII* font you must use **[Inconsolata for Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/fonts/tree/master/Inconsolata)**.
6. Refresh ZSH by typing `source ~/.zshrc` on the command line.
7. Done!!! 🙌

## Tips & Tricks

- ✅ [`shades-of-purple.itermcolors`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmadawais/shades-of-purple-iterm2/master/shades-of-purple.itermcolors) is for anyone who uses iTerm2 and wants the same colors as shown above.
- ✅ [`shades-of-purple.zsh-theme`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmadawais/shades-of-purple-iterm2/master/shades-of-purple.zsh-theme) is the prompt layout for zsh users to make your terminal report relevant and awesome info. You should probably use both.

![my font settings](https://on.ahmda.ws/qYpw/c)

They work well together! You will need to install the patched powerline font as well: . I use [Operator Mono](https://www.typography.com/fonts/operator/styles/) it's a $200 premium font (devs spend so much time with code, it's only fair that it looks good) a free alternative is [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode). For non-ASCII font, you'll need to also installed a patched [Powerline Font](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) — I use the [Inconsolata](https://github.com/powerline/fonts/tree/master/Inconsolata) and it works well for this theme.
