# Configuration to use Hyper.js as a Zsh terminal with a Windows Subsystem Linux on windows 10, with Oh My Zsh and the Powerlevel10k theme

- Go to : https://dev.to/vsalbuq/how-to-install-oh-my-zsh-on-windows-10-home-edition-49g2
- install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Microsoft Store (ex: Ubuntu)
- install zsh
- install oh my zsh
- install powerlevel 10k


- install fonts and set it on your terminal app (hyperjs) : https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k


- Go to `C:\Users\YourAccoutName\AppData\Roaming\Hyper`
- Open the file `.hyper`

- Around line 95 change params to :
- 
        `shell: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe',`      
        
        `shellArgs: ['~'],`
       
- Set default directory path of your zsh terminal
- 
        `echo "cd ~/path" >> ~/.zshrc`
- If your path is in another disk :
- 
        `echo "cd mnt/disk_letter/eventually_a_folder" >> ~/.zshrc`


- Reinstall node and npm for this shell :
- This is for version 16 (view current LTS version):

        `curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -`
        
        `sudo apt-get install -y nodejs`

- Then install build tools so you can install add-ons for npm later

        `sudo apt-get install -y build-essential`
        
- Now you can type in

        `npm -v`
        
        `node -v`
        
        `Same thing: nodejs -v`


- To summarise, edit ~/.profile and change your PATH to this:

        `PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH"`
