Hi, I installed ubuntu version 20.04 on windows 11pro using wsl2. And ready to use ubuntu20.04 through windows terminal. My bash version is 5.0.17. Recently I wanted to install nnn with nerdfont in ubuntu. so I executed the following command under $home directory:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jarun/nnn
cd nnn
sudo make O_NERD=1
sudo cp nnn /usr/bin

The whole compiling process was smooth.

By executing the already compiled file ‘./nnn’, it is also able to display icon for folders and such:

But I found that the icon didn't appear when I direcly use the command 'nnn':

By the way, I have installed the following four mesloLG NF mono FONT in my Windows11
image
and modified the relative setting.json file of windows terminal:

The display of fonts is really not a problem, but I do still have problems with displaying the icon using nnn, which makes me confused.

Post the output of which nnn. It's likely invoking the old binary and not the new one.

sudo make O_NERD=1

You shouldn't need sudo for compiling. It's only needed for install.

sudo cp nnn /usr/bin

Why not use sudo make install instead of manually copying?

which nnn turns out to be:

I figured out what the problem was, it was indeed that the nnn packages that had been installed by ‘apt-get install’ before were not removed correctly. Thanks for your comments! I will close this issue.
