# Prerequisites

# Quick Install

  1. Install the starship binary:

    # Install Latest Version

    With Shell:

    curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh
    

    To update the Starship itself, rerun the above script. It will replace the current version without touching Starship's configuration.

    # Install via Package Manager

    With Homebrew (opens new window):

    brew install starship
    

    With Winget (opens new window):

    winget 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
    
    starship init fish | source
    

    # Zsh

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

    # ~/.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)
    

    # Ion

    Add the following to the end of ~/.config/ion/initrc:

    # ~/.config/ion/initrc
    
    eval $(starship init ion)
    

    # Elvish

    WARNING

    Only elvish v0.18 or higher is supported.

    Add the following to the end of ~/.elvish/rc.elv:

    # ~/.elvish/rc.elv
    
    eval (starship init elvish)
    

    # Tcsh

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

    # ~/.tcshrc
    
    eval `starship init tcsh`
    

    # Nushell

    WARNING

    This will change in the future. Only Nushell v0.78+ is supported.

    Add the following to the end of your Nushell env file (find it by running $nu.env-path in Nushell):

    mkdir ~/.cache/starship
    starship init nu | save -f ~/.cache/starship/init.nu
    

    And add the following to the end of your Nushell configuration (find it by running $nu.config-path):

    use ~/.cache/starship/init.nu
    

    # Xonsh

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

    # ~/.xonshrc
    
    execx($(starship init xonsh))
    

    # Cmd

    You need to use Clink (opens new window) (v1.2.30+) with Cmd. Add the following to a file starship.lua and place this file in Clink scripts directory:

    -- starship.lua
    
    load(io.popen('starship init cmd'):read("*a"))()
