Hi there thanks so much for the tutorial.
However im stuck at trying to installing nvm. after the source ~/.zshrc execution i get a
/home/sj/.zshrc:101: command not found: Set
I seem to have followed the earlier steps properly and I do not know why.
Please help...
I removed the Set part of the command. It worked for me.
I am also getting the same error as you, can someone please shed light on this
The set command is case-sensitive. Just change "Set" to "set"
This works!! Thanks @pandahutmiku
I just changed
Set ZSH_THEME="spaceship" (in .zshrc) TO
set ZSH_THEME="spaceship"
WORKING PERFECTLY!
AMAZING article sir, huge thank you to the immense amount of detail and effort put into setting up an amazing terminal workflow within windows.
I've been on mac/linux for the past few years and recently had to switch back to windows for a new gig. This terminal set up will help the workflow tremendously, thank you!
This article just made life and my personal workflow MUCH more enjoyable. Thank you!
I'm really happy to read that, Zak! Thank you very much for sharing it!
Absolutely it deserves to be shared. I owe you a huge thank you, even just a week after reading this article I've taken a descent deep dive into electron as a whole. I've always known it's out there, but justified not deep diving into a rabbit whole.
I was shared this article on my youtube channel and at work. Then, perfectly timed, I actually ran into some problems with a small app I'm building that electron solved perfectly and quickly.
After working with in a minor way on an application, I was fanboying over electron to the lead software developer at my company. Two days later we were talking about it again and I was showing him my personal electron project.
Now, as I did a week earlier, he's coming to understand the incredible power behind Electron as well and we've been full geek out on the possibilities it has for our company. Nothing is for sure as of yet, but out of the blue he said "I can't wait to have you start building out our internal electron project to see what you can do with it."
It's an amazing company and they focus a ton on high quality talent, hiring less than 3% of applicants.
This week is only my third week, and although not a forsure thing, this article may have lead to an incredible opportunity early on a place stacked plum to the brim with talent and other needs.
Thank you for this share, I'll be checking in to see any new posts you create :)
Wow, Zak... That is amazing! Very happy to help!
Thanks for the great guide.
I'm having some issues setting the default shell for hyper to ubuntu.
My ubuntu shell is located at:
C:\Users\Niv\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ubuntu2004.exe
I can verify this path is correct by running it.
I also tried setting the shell property to 'C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe' as suggested in many other places.
However, setting it as the shell configuration in hyper does nothing. still opens with cmd. (i've made sure to keep shellArgs empty).
Do you have any idea how to fix this?
That's weird... What path appears if you run the script bellow?
If this returns a path different from the one you're using, try to use that path instead of the one you're trying to use and let me know if it's working.
Also, your
shellArgsarray on Hyper's settings must be empty. Have you checked that too?it's the same path as the one i used.
yes, shellArgs are empty.
are you able to set up this guide using this version of ubuntu?
I'm very busy these past months (couldn't even keep posting here). Sorry...
I hope you find a way to work around the issues you've found. And if you do, please comment the solution here... Maybe someone else will need that answer too.
In my case it was a missing comma after copy-pasting from the instructions that was causing hyper to not be able to process the config file. Everything worked on ubuntu2004.exe after spotting this for me.
plugins: [
'hyper-dracula'
], <-----
this was exactly my issue, thank you so much.
too bad hyper doesn't output an error when trying to parse this config json
Thanks for the article. Appreciate it so much.
However, if you follow the above mentioned Step 8 your terminal will not open with current workspace folder, to solve this follow these steps instead:
Ctrl + Shift + P, search "Terminal: Select Default Profile" and select your Linux distro. Hope this helps too!!It's still not not opening with current workspace folder
I've encountered an issue. When I run
nvm install --ltsI get an error saying that I don't have it installed even tho I just did the commands all right without errors and I regularly have node installed as I am a we developer.
It's kind of difficult to find it out only with the information you gave me...
Have you forgotten the step for adding the path variable to .zshrc, maybe?
It may be also that you .zshrc wasn't saved before you tried to run nvm.
Also, if you changed the file structure to remove the
mnt/, it may cause some issues.I hope this helps, but I'm really in the dark here, 😅
I was having the same issue. If you read the prompt after installing nvm from the repo it says you need to close the terminal or run the below script.
I closed and reopened and nvm installed successfully
I hope this helps!
Thanks Vinícius, this was very helpful.
One thing I would like to add, is making an alias in
~/.zshrcfor VSCodium or VSCode, so you can open files from the command line.For this I added:
or you use your path to VS Code, wherever that is. I.e.:
This makes jumping back and forth a little easier.
A couple of things I found whilst walking through:
Step 1: Needed to run Powershell as Administrator (even though my windows account is an admin)
Step 4: Needed git installed before I could run
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"Step 7: Re-opening Hyper, I see
/home/user/.zshrc:103: command not found: Setat the top of my terminalStep 7:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zdharma/zinit/master/doc/install.sh)"returns a 404Step 8: Adding the
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Users\\<your-user-name>\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\debian.exe",into VS code returns the following error (seems to still work though)Step 9: Appreciate the note on version of nvm -
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bashworkedStep 9: The following was already in my
.zshrcafter nvm installFor step 7 You should use this command instead
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.io/zinit-install)"I actually used Terminal, then followed the same steps to add and use Debian in Terminal.
OMG my Terminal is so gorgeous now. I am going to make branches on personal projects just to see the colors lol
One thing that didn't work was nvm install though. I am not sure why and am down a rabbit hole of the internet to figure it out
Thanks for this guide I have been nerding out and telling devs who do not care this morning haha
I ended up running "git clone github.com/creationix/nvm.git .nvm" instead, and then "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" before "source ~/.zshrc" and it worked for me
Hey,
Thanks for your advice, I used github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git and installed node-v15.14.0 and it worked.
VS code is displaying the following message for step 8:
This is deprecated, the new recommended way to configure your default shell is by creating a terminal profile in Terminal › Integrated › Profiles: Windows and setting its profile name as the default in Terminal › Integrated › Default Profile: Windows. This will currently take priority over the new profiles settings but that will change in the future.
Help!!
Follow this for Step 8 instead:
Click Ctrl + Shift + P, search "Terminal: Select Default Profile" and select your Linux distro.
I am facing this problem. Hope you can help me. I have attached the image to you so I hope you can view it. The problem is in the Hyper, when I list all the directories with ls, all the main folders' background become green. And I would like to fix but I don't have any idea where to fix. I have fixed at the ZSH and Hyper but no positive result.
Sorry, I can't see your image and didn't understand what you said. Would you send it again?
hahha.. that's okay. I've already fixed it. =)
how did u fix it?
My yarn commands are only working inside the default ~ directory. As soon as I cd out into where my other react apps are I can use the yarn command but it does not work. Also I am a bit confused where the files are on the computer at the beginning of the file path. Help would be appreciated, and I can be more clear if my explanation was not good.
Hey thanks for instructive guide. I really like it. One thing I wanna ask tho, when I run zsh in VSC (it works), its default path is set to /home/. Adding cwd in VSC config crashes the terminal immediately.
Do you know how to set the zsh default path to project's path on terminal launch?
Hey, thanks for such an amazing article!! This is how my Hyper terminal looks like (dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...). Different themes but the same tutorial. I am trying to figure out how to add a custom background image with opacity in my terminal. I tried the 'hyper-wallpaper' plugin & this link stackoverflow.com/questions/387953... but don't aren't working for some reason. Can you show me a working example if possible?
This article was a lifesaver for me being able to work on my gaming PC sometimes too. Before this, I just refused to develop on my windows machine unless absolutely necessary but now it is a bit more bearable
OMG. I never thought running linux commands (specillay oh-my-zsh) on windows. Thanks for the amazing article. I have followed each step and now ready to ride the linux wave on windows shore. Thanks to you.
Great step-by-step tutorial. Small comment : zinit changed location as of 1st July 2022 the correct code should be updated to
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/zdharma-..."
➜ ~ curl -o- raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/n... | bash
for some reason didn't work for me. thus I tried
~ export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
➜ ~ export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
➜ ~ nvm
Thanks a lot for this article :) It's very helpful. I'm the begginer and it works for me :)
When doing..
source ~/.zshrc
I get the error:
Command Not Found: set
I am unable to proceed :(
Can be fixed by setting ZSH_THEME="spaceship" instead of the default theme at the top of the ~/.zshrc
Valeu amigo. Você é um amigo
Prova que nem todo herói usa capa
For step 7, zinit light zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting was changed into
zinit light zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting
Thank you
Is it possible to use a different theme on zsh? i wanted to use awesomepanda and seem to have messed my zsh as it won't open now.
Iam stuck with the following error in step 9:
.zshrc:102: command not found: Set
Help!!
SO I did this and skipped the theme at the end. I just need to get this to work on VScode. I have it installed on Debian distro now. I just don't know how to get this thing over onto VScode terminal.
It was awesome. It worked out well for me
Thank you for the amazing article.
However when I open terminal, it does not open with current workspace folder.
Do have any solution for it?
Thank you for the guide, its so simple.
Followed all steps on Windows 10 Pro and now I have OhMyZSH working really good! Thank you!
It would be nice to get a Youtube video of this long frightening guide.
TNX.
If I will follow the guide I will make a video.
Thank you very much for this article.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/zdharma/..."
returning 404 error, can someone help?
Quite AMAZING !!!
Perhaps Zinit installation changed it's link?
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL git.io/zinit-install)"
I found this URL is this correct ?
I hope I did some help
Can you help? at the end it is showing this:
➜ ~ source ~/.zshrc
/home/kamarguera/.zshrc:106: command not found: Set
/home/kamarguera/.zshrc:154: bad pattern: /home/kamarguera/.nvm/nvm.sh[

Great work man. Keep it up.
