Install Oh-my-zsh

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

Install Theme

Adding and customizing your own themes pretty much works the same as with plugins.

Themes are located in a themes folder and must end with .zsh-theme. The basename of the file is the name of the theme.

```
$ZSH_CUSTOM
└── themes
    └── rocinante.zsh-theme
```

Then edit your .zshrc to use that theme.

```shell
ZSH_THEME="rocinante"
```

Install plugins

Solarized dir colors Usage

This plugin offers two commands:

• lssolarized which lists the available solarized themes. For now there are:

  • dircolors.ansi-universal (universal theme for 16- and 256-color terminals)
  • dircolors.ansi-dark (optimized version of universal for dark background)
  • dircolors.ansi-light (optimized version of universal for light background)
  • dircolors.256dark (degraded solarized dark theme) -> My preference

• setupsolarized which installs a theme and saves the current configuration to the configuration file ($HOME/.zsh-dircolors.config by default). Without any argument, setupsolarized will use the theme dircolors.ansi-universal.

setupsolarized must be run at least once in order to create the configuration file. After doing so, the plugin will automatically load your configuration each time a zsh session is started.

OSX Support

A required command for this library is dircolors. This command is not available on OSX. Instead, gdircolors is provided through Homebrew.

1. Install core-utils.

   brew install coreutils
   

2. Add the following alias to your .zshrc anywhere prior to where this plugin is installed.

   alias dircolors='gdircolors'
