Installing and Setting up Oh-my-zsh Terminal on Windows

Just step by step

Let’s Go

• Go to Microsoft Store

• Install Windows Terminal App

• Install a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Ubuntu App

• Search for Windows Features. Check on Windows Subsystem for Linux. Click ok. Will apply the changes. Restart the computer.

• Open Ubuntu App. It will start installing.
• Open Windows Terminal App. Dropdown, Select Ubuntu terminal

• Update and install. Run the following 3 codes

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install zsh

• Install git for windows

https://gitforwindows.org/

• Install oh-my-zsh

https://ohmyz.sh/

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

• Clone powerlevel10k
  https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#oh-my-zsh

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

• In the .zshrc file change the theme.

code ~/.zshrc
Set ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

• Install the MesloLGS NF fonts

https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k

• For VSCode in setting.json add

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGS NF"

• In windows terminal. Open JSON file. Add inside the ubuntu object

"font": { "face": "MesloLGS NF"}

• Customize terminal look. In Ubuntu terminal run

p10k configure

Follow the questions and enter you’re choice. If the MesloLGS NF fonts were installed correctly, you will see a diamond. Else it will be [] empty box.

Extra

• Add an alias in the .zshrc file

alias -g home="~ && /mnt/c/Users/yourusername"

Having this alias make cd to root window file much easier

cd home
This is shortcut for the same as.
cd ~ 
(this will cd into the WSL root-main folder)
Then 
cd /mnt/c/Users/yourusername 
(this will cd into the Window root-main folder)

• Install autosuggesstions

zsh-autosuggestions/INSTALL.md at master · zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

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

In the .zshrc file add

plugins=( 
      # other plugins...
      zsh-autosuggestions
 )

You are all set!!
