Cannot configure Powerlevel10K

Support Software & Applications
1

Hello,

I am new to Manjaro and so far I like it. The only thing is I use zsh and I wanted to install Powerlevel10K and I did this with the help of pacman.
According the site you need to configure it with p10k configure but that does not work.

~ >>> p10k configure                                                                                                                                         
zsh: command not found: p10k

~ >>> pacman -Qs powerlevel                                                                                                                             
local/zsh-theme-powerlevel10k 1.12.0-3
    Powerlevel10k is a theme for Zsh. It emphasizes speed, flexibility and out-of-the-box experience.

So how can I configure it in Manjaro?

I installed it via oh-my-zsh, I recommend you to try it that way, it was the easiest since it also didn’t work out of the box for me via pamac.
Also, both oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10k were made from git, not manjaro/aur repo. If you seek to download only from pamac/pacman, I’m afraid I can’t help you out much (I’m also new to Linux :smiley: ). You can try looking in pamac where the shell script for installing p10k is located and manually run it, it might help you out.

Regards,
Alarg

Seems not the case to me

 locate powerlevel10k

exists (echo source … == include this file in .zshrc)

Did you add the necessary line to your zshrc after installing from the AUR?

source /usr/share/zsh-theme-powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme

Also, did you read the comments on the AUR page? There’s some helpful discussion on there.

Oke strange removed everything (again) and cleaned .zshrc started over.
Now the config starts after including the path in .zshrc and also the command works.

No idea what was going on but it works now.

thanks all

Because you probably failed instruction number 3. Restart zsh.

Haha, naah that I did restart zsh.

I guess I made a typo when I echoed the path, because after I set it again (now with copy paste) it worked. .
