How to install
Using packages
- Arch Linux: community/zsh-syntax-highlighting / AUR/zsh-syntax-highlighting-git
- Debian: in "unstable"
- Gentoo: mv overlay
- Mac OS X / Homebrew: brew install zsh-syntax-highlighting
- Ubuntu: in Xenial
In your ~/.zshrc
Simply clone this repository and source the script:
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
echo "source ${(q-)PWD}/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
If git
is not installed, download and extract a snapshot of the latest
development tree from:
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/archive/master.tar.gz
Note the source
command must be at the end of ~/.zshrc
.
With oh-my-zsh
Oh-my-zsh is a zsh configuration framework. It lives at http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.
To install zsh-syntax-highlighting under oh-my-zsh:
-
Clone this repository in oh-my-zsh's plugins directory:
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
-
Activate the plugin in
~/.zshrc
:plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)
-
Source
~/.zshrc
to take changes into account:source ~/.zshrc
Note that zsh-syntax-highlighting
must be the last plugin sourced,
so make it the last element of the $plugins
array.
System-wide installation
Either of the above methods is suitable for a single-user installation, which requires no special privileges. If, however, you desire to install zsh-syntax-highlighting system-wide, you may do so by running
make install
and directing your users to add
source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
to their .zshrc
