### How to install: if not already done install git, zsh, tmux and vim: $ sudo apt-get install git zsh tmux vim install oh-my-zsh and Vundle by following these steps https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim setup a patched font if you want to use **tmux.surface v1.2** https://github.com/powerline/fonts clone my repo into your home folder $ cd ~ $ git clone https://github.com/erikschreier/PaperColor-themes backup your existing *.tmux.conf* and *.vimrc file* $ mkdir backup $ mv .vimrc .tmux.conf ~/backup copy the files now into your home folder $ cd PaperColor-themes $ cp -r .vimrc .vim .tmux.conf .tmux .oh-my-zsh ~/ install the plugins for vim (**ignore the errors**) $ vim +PluginInstall change the theme in your *.zshrc* and **add** some **aliasses** at the bottom $ vim ~/.zshrc ... ZSH_THEME="warlord" ... #alias ohmyzsh="mate ~/.oh-my-zsh" alias tmux-n="tmux -2 new -s" alias tmux-o="tmux -2 attach -t" alias tmux-k="tmux kill-session -t" Restart your terminal after the installation and you should see the zsh prompt (if not restart your System). Follow the **crashcourse** in the **screenshot** to learn how to use tmux and get familiar with the setup. To use the powerline theme just copy and rename the *.tmux/.tmux.conf.surface_powerline* file or rewrite the *.tmux.conf* to use it. Remember you have to use a powerline patched fonts (if not yo'll see weird glyphs in the statusbar.) ### Troubleshooting #### tmux shows weird colors: inside your terminal (not in tmux) run '**echo $TERM**' to find out your terminal emulator and modify the first line of the *~/.tmux/.tmux.conf.options* file to fit your setup (may you have to use google for the correct setting). If that not works then make sure you added the -2 in the alias section of your *~/.zshrc* to force tmux to start in truecolor mode. #### Shell is still Bash: Run '**chsh**' inside your terminal, enter */bin/zsh* and restart your terminal. #### Vim uses unix as fileformat on my Mac: Open the file *~/.vim/.vimrc.aufiles* and change the encoding in line **36 and 37**. ##### Enjoy the theme and feel free to modify.
