# Alacritty
|
|
A terminal that can handle a nerd font. Used alongside lazyvim.
|
|
|
|
## MacOS
|
|
1. Download a release from `https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases` or get it using Homebrew
|
|
```
|
|
brew install --cask alacritty
|
|
```
|
|
2. Install a nerd font. This is just some one suggested online.
|
|
```
|
|
brew install font-meslo-lg-nerd-font
|
|
```
|
|
3. Create an Alacritty config folder and link the alacritty config in this repo into there.
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty
|
|
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/alacritty-macos.toml ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ubuntu
|
|
1. Install Alacritty through a third-party PPA.
|
|
```
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aslatter/ppa
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install alacritty
|
|
```
|
|
2. Install a nerd font (I am using "MesloLG Nerd Font" from `https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads`)
|
|
```
|
|
unzip Meslo.zip -d Meslo
|
|
mkdir ~/.local/share/fonts
|
|
cp Meslo/*.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts
|
|
fc-cache -fv
|
|
rm -r Meslo Meslo.zip
|
|
```
|
|
3. Create an Alacritty config folder and link the alacritty config in this repo into there.
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty
|
|
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/alacritty/alacritty-ubuntu.toml ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
|
|
```
