Warp Terminal Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up Warp Terminal on your Macbook with a personalized configuration that includes several useful plugins. Follow the steps below to get started.

Step 1: Install a Nerd Font

First, you need to install a font that supports special icons. You can choose from a variety of fonts at Nerd Fonts. For example, you can download and install "Hack Nerd Font".

Step 2: Install Oh-My-Zsh

Install Oh-My-Zsh using one of the following commands:

Via curl:

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

Via wget:

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

Step 3: Install Powerlevel10k Theme

Clone the Powerlevel10k repository:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Open your .zshrc file with a text editor (nvim, nano, etc.) and set the theme:

~/.zshrc
nano .zshrc

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

After making changes to .zshrc, source the file:

source .zshrc

A configuration wizard should start automatically. If not, run:

p10k configure

Step 4: Install Additional Oh-My-Zsh Plugins

Zsh Syntax Highlighting

Clone the Zsh syntax highlighting plugin repository:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Zsh Autosuggestions

Clone the Zsh autosuggestions plugin:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

Edit your .zshrc file to include these plugins:

plugins=(git zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions)

Source the .zshrc file again:

source .zshrc

Step 5: Install Colorls

Install the colorls plugin using gem:

sudo gem install colorls

If you encounter error that looks like this:

ERROR:  Error installing colorls:
	The last version of public_suffix (>= 2.0.2, < 7.0) to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 5.1.1. Try installing it with `gem install public_suffix -v 5.1.1` and then running the current command again
	public_suffix requires Ruby version >= 3.0. The current ruby version is 2.6.10.210.

Try solving it by updating public_suffix with this command:

sudo gem install public_suffix -v 5.1.1

Then re-run the installation of colorls:

sudo gem install colorls

Set an alias for colorls by adding the following line to your .zshrc file:

alias ls='colorls'

Source the .zshrc file one last time:

source .zshrc

Conclusion

After completing these steps, you should have a fully configured Warp Terminal with the best settings and plugins. Enjoy your new setup!
