First you need to install nerd fonts:

Nerd Fonts

1. On raspberry pi via the terminal/ssh:

   # Note that this clone takes a long time (~11GB)
   git clone https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git
   cd nerd-fonts
   ./install.sh Meslo

2. On raspberry pi via the desktop/VNC:

   1. Open the terminal app

   2. Go to Edit > Preferences

   3. On the Style tab choose MesloLGS Nerd Font Regular

      • NOTE: Here's a discussion of the LG, L, M, S, DZ, and SZ acronyms: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/wiki/FAQ-and-Troubleshooting#what-do-these-acronym-variations-in-the-font-name-mean-lg-l-m-s-dz-sz

   4. Also on the Style tab, change the Palette to Solarized Dark, and then change again to Custom. Set the bottom left color to the custom #586D74 (this is the same color as the fixed Solarized Dark theme for Mac below).

3. On Mac (use iTerm2):

   brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
   brew cask install font-meslolg-nerd-font

   1. In iTerm2 preferences, go to Preferences > Profiles > Default > Text and set the font to MesloLGS Nerd Font.

   2. Also you might want to use this fixed Solarized Dark theme from https://gist.github.com/kevin-smets/8568070:

      1. Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes/master/schemes/Solarized%20Dark%20-%20Patched.itermcolors

      2. In iTerm2 preferences, go to Preferences > Profiles > Default > Colors > Color Presets... and import Solarized Dark - Patched.itermcolors

Now continue with the powerlevel10k install:

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

sed -i.$(date +'%Y%m%d-%H%M%S') 's#ZSH_THEME="[^"]*"#ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"#' ~/.zshrc
