🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

• A Nerd Font installed and enabled in your terminal (for example, try the Fira Code Nerd Font).

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.

1. Install the starship binary:

   Install Latest Version

   From prebuilt binary, with Shell:

   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 -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)" -- --help
   

   Install via Package Manager

   With Homebrew:

   brew install starship
   

   With Scoop:

   scoop install starship
   

2. Add the init script to your shell's config file:

   Bash

   Add the following to the end of ~/.bashrc:

   # ~/.bashrc
   
   eval "$(starship init bash)"
   

   Fish

   Add the following to the end of ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

   # ~/.config/fish/config.fish

   # ~/.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.

   Invoke-Expression (&starship init powershell)

   Nushell
