Intructions to set up Yakuake terminal + oh-my-zsh + agnoster theme in ubuntu

Yakuake + oh-my-zsh + agnoster

Getting bored of the default terminal in ubuntu, I decided to change my terminal and came up with this.

---

Instructions to set up this terminal

Install zsh

• sudo apt install zsh

Make zsh your default terminal

• chsh -s $(which zsh)
• Now logout and login the current user and run echo $SHELL
• It should show zsh

Note: Choose option (2) of the many options which appear on first time launch of zsh

Install oh-my-zsh

• sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Changing theme to agnoster

• Change default theme in ~/.zshrc file to agnoster

Note: If the agnoster theme doesn't appear correctly. Run this command to install powerline fonts

• sudo apt-get install fonts-powerline

Installing Yakuake

• sudo apt-get install yakuake

Now you are all setup.

Note: If you want Yakuake terminal to get activated automatically, you can add it to startup applications.
