Install them after downloading and set your terminal to use them in the settings. I use the [**JetBrains Mono Nerd Font**](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/JetBrainsMono.zip) for my terminal.\n    \n### STEP 01 : Install Starship 🚀\n       \n[**Starship**](https://starship.rs/) is a highly customizable, cross-shell prompt. It works with popular shells like Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell, and others. It will help us in changing the looks of our terminal.\n   \n#### **Windows OS** \n   \nStarship can be installed via `winget`, windows package manager, by running the following command in the `Command Prompt`. It will not work if you do not have `winget` installed already :\n    \n```\nwinget install --id Starship.Starship\n```\n   \nIf the above command does not work then we have to download the MSI-installers from the [**release section**](https://github.com/starship/starship/releases/tag/v1.20.1) of Starship's Github repository. Make sure to download the correct installer based on your CPU's Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), if you have a `x86_64` system with Windows OS, download the installer that may look like this 👇\n     \n\u003e\n\u003e starship-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi \n\u003e\n\nAfter downloading is complete, install it like any other program by running the installer.\n\n#### **Linux OS**\n   \nTo install Starship, run the following command in your terminal :\n     \n```\ncurl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh\n```\n### STEP 02 : Configure Your Shell to Use Starship Prompt\n    \nWe can configure our `Shells` to run the Starship prompt everytime we start a new terminal session.\n      \n#### **PowerShell**\n\nOpen `PowerShell` and run the following command :\n   \n```\nnotepad $PROFILE\n```\n\u003e**Note :** In case the `notepad $PROFILE` command shows error when run, then we need to manually create the powershell PROFILE script. To create that, go to this path : `C:\\Users\\\u003cYourUsername\u003e\\Documents\\PowerShell\\` and create a new file with the following name : `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`\n\nAdd the following at the end of the file that was opened by the above command. Save and then close the file :\n\n```\nInvoke-Expression (\u0026starship init powershell)\n```\n\u003e **Note :** PowerShell might not run our profile script, If this happens we need to change the Execution Policy by running this command:\n\u003e ```\n\u003e Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser\n\u003e ```\n\n#### **Bash**\n   \nEither you can configure `Bash`, if you are on a Linux system, or you can configure `Git Bash` on a Windows system. The methods for both are exactly the same.\n\nTo configure `Bash` we have to make changes to the `.bashrc` file. To achieve that, run the following command :\n\n```\ncd ~ \u0026\u0026 nano .bashrc\n```\nThe comand above checks for the `.bashrc` file in the `/usr/home/` directory (user's home directry) and opens it via `nano` (text editor that runs in the terminal). If the `.bashrc` file does not exist in the user's home directory `nano` creates it first and then opens it.\n\nAdd the following at the end of the `.bashrc` file :\n\n```\neval \"$(starship init bash)\"\n```\n     \nEverything is done! Restart the terminal and you should see it in a new look. Your `Shell` will load the default Starship prompt, if you are not happy with the look then proceed on with the next step.\n  \n### STEP 03 : Configuring the Startship Prompt\n\nConfigurations for Starship are done in a `starship.toml` file located in `.config` folder in the user's home 🏠 directory. We need to create them first.\n\n#### **Windows OS**\n\nGo to your home directory, located here : `C:\\Users\\\u003cYourUsername\u003e`.\nThen create `.config` folder 📂 and a `starship.toml` file in it.\n\n#### **Linux OS**\n\n\u003e **Note :** If you have `Git Bash` installed on your Windows OS then running the Linux command given below will create the required folder and the file.\n\nRun the following command to create the folder 📂 and the file :\n```\nmkdir -p ~/.config \u0026\u0026 touch ~/.config/starship.toml\n```\n\nNow we can start configuring by adding content to the `starship.toml` file. To learn about this in detail, check the [**Documentation**](https://starship.rs/config/#prompt). Now, manually configuring the prompt is a bit tedious. So, we are going to use some [**Presets**](https://starship.rs/presets). Choose any preset that you like and copy its `toml` into `starship.toml`, that we created earlier, save it and the configurations will be applied instantly.\n    \nTo get the same prompt as shown in this [**image**](Images/terminal-after-customization.png), copy [**this**](Themes/Starship/starship.toml) into your `starship.toml` file.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvidyasagaryadav499%2Fcustom-terminal-guide","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvidyasagaryadav499%2Fcustom-terminal-guide","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvidyasagaryadav499%2Fcustom-terminal-guide/lists"}
