Set up your terminal
Oh My Posh uses ANSI color codes under the hood, these should work in every terminal,
but you may have to set the environment variable $TERM to xterm-256color for it to work.
To display all icons, we recommend the use of a Nerd Font.
Installation
- manual
- homebrew
Before running the below commands, make sure that you have updated curl and the
client certificate store on the target machine.
Install the latest version for your system by running the following command:
curl -s https://ohmyposh.dev/install.sh | bash -s
By default the script will install to ~/bin or ~/.local/bin depending on which one exists,
or the existing Oh My Posh executable's installation folder.
If you want to install to a different location you can specify it using the -d flag:
curl -s https://ohmyposh.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- -d ~/bin
When installing Homebrew for Linux, be sure to follow Next steps instructions to add Homebrew to your PATH and to your bash shell profile script, and Requirements to build Oh My Posh.
A Homebrew Formula and Cask (macOS only) are available for easy installation.
