# 🚀 Advanced Installation
|
|
|
|
To install starship, you need to do two things:
|
|
|
|
1. Get the **starship** binary onto your computer
|
|
1. Tell your shell to use the starship binary as its prompt by modifying its init scripts
|
|
|
|
For most users, the instructions on [the main page](/guide/#🚀-installation) will work great. However,
|
|
for some more specialized platforms, different instructions are needed.
|
|
|
|
There are so many platforms out there that they didn't fit into the main
|
|
README.md file, so here are some installation instructions for other platforms
|
|
from the community. Is yours not here? Please do add it here if you figure it
|
|
out!
|
|
|
|
## [Nix](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix)
|
|
|
|
### Getting the Binary
|
|
|
|
#### Imperatively
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix-env -iA nixos.starship
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Declarative, single user, via [home-manager](home-manager)
|
|
|
|
Add `pkgs.starship` to your `home.packages` in your `home.nix` file, then run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
home-manager switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Declarative, system-wide, with NixOS
|
|
|
|
Add `pkgs.starship` to `environment.packages` in your `configuration.nix`,
|
|
then run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Modifying Init Scripts
|
|
|
|
#### With Nix and home-manager, using zsh:
|
|
|
|
Add the following to `programs.zsh.initExtra` in your `home.nix` file, then
|
|
run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
home-manager switch
|
|
```
