# Installing useful tools ## Vim Create symlink ```bash ln -s path/to/repository/generic_working_machine/vimrc ~/.vim/vimrc ``` 1. In general, `~/.vim/vimrc` contains all plugins, which must be installed incl. the plugin manager itself ([vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)) 1. To install the listed plugins, open vim, enter `:PlugInstall` and press on enter 2. Set up `ryanoasis/vim-devicons` 1. Download and install patched font containing glyphs/icons [here](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts?tab=readme-ov-file#patched-fonts), i.e. JetBrainsMono Nerd Font 2. Change font in terminal settings; for iTerm2 go to `Profiles > Text > Font` and select the installed Nerd Font ## zsh Create symlink (TODO: maybe there are machine specific settings here, I'd llike to be able to set) ```bash ln -s path/to/repository/generic_working_machine/zshrc ~/.zshrc ``` ## tmux Create symlink ```bash ln -s path/to/repository/generic_working_machine/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf ```
