## 🚀 Installation
### Prerequisites
- A [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) installed and enabled in your terminal (for example, try the [Fira Code Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads)).
### Getting Started
**Note**: due to the proliferation of different platforms, only a subset of supported platforms are
shown below. Can't see yours? Have a look at the [extra platform instructions](https://starship.rs/installing/).
1. Install the **starship** binary:
#### Install Latest Version
##### From prebuilt binary, with Shell:
```sh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)"
```
To update the Starship itself, rerun the above script. It will replace the current version without touching Starship's configuration.
**Note** - The defaults of the install script can be overridden see the built-in help.
```sh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)" -- --help
```
#### Install via Package Manager
##### With [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```sh
brew install starship
```
##### With [Scoop](https://scoop.sh):
```powershell
scoop install starship
```
2. Add the init script to your shell's config file:
#### Bash
Add the following to the end of `~/.bashrc`:
```sh
# ~/.bashrc
eval "$(starship init bash)"
```
#### Fish
Add the following to the end of `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
```sh
# ~/.config/fish/config.fish
starship init fish | source
```
#### Zsh
Add the following to the end of `~/.zshrc`:
```sh
# ~/.zshrc
eval "$(starship init zsh)"
```
#### PowerShell
Add the following to the end of `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1`. You can check the location of this file by querying the `$PROFILE` variable in PowerShell. Typically the path is `~\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` or `~/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` on -Nix.
```powershell
Invoke-Expression (&starship init powershell)
```
#### Ion
Add the following to the end of `~/.config/ion/initrc`:
```sh
# ~/.config/ion/initrc
eval $(starship init ion)
```
#### Elvish
**Warning** Only elvish v0.15 or higher is supported.
Add the following to the end of `~/.elvish/rc.elv`:
```sh
# ~/.elvish/rc.elv
eval (starship init elvish)
```
#### Tcsh
Add the following to the end of `~/.tcshrc`:
```sh
# ~/.tcshrc
eval `starship init tcsh`
```
#### Xonsh
Add the following to the end of `~/.xonshrc`:
```sh
# ~/.xonshrc
execx($(starship init xonsh))
```
#### Nushell
**Warning** This will change in the future. Only nu version v0.33 or higher is supported.
Add the following to your nu config file. You can check the location of this
file by running `config path` in nu.
```toml
startup = [
"mkdir ~/.cache/starship",
"starship init nu | save ~/.cache/starship/init.nu",
"source ~/.cache/starship/init.nu"
]
prompt = "starship_prompt"
```
