How to install
--------------
### Using packages
* Arch Linux: [community/zsh-syntax-highlighting][arch-package] / [AUR/zsh-syntax-highlighting-git][AUR-package]
* Gentoo: [mv overlay][gentoo-overlay]
* Mac OS X / Homebrew: [brew install zsh-syntax-highlighting][brew-package]
[arch-package]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-syntax-highlighting
[AUR-package]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zsh-syntax-highlighting-git
[gentoo-overlay]: http://gpo.zugaina.org/app-shells/zsh-syntax-highlighting
[brew-package]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/zsh-syntax-highlighting.rb
### In your ~/.zshrc
* Clone this repository:
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
If `git` is not installed, you could download a snapshot of the latest
development tree from:
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/archive/master.tar.gz
* Source the script **at the end** of `~/.zshrc`:
source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
* Source `~/.zshrc` to take changes into account:
source ~/.zshrc
### With oh-my-zsh
Oh-my-zsh is a zsh configuration framework. It lives at
<http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh>.
To install zsh-syntax-highlighting under oh-my-zsh:
1. Clone this repository in oh-my-zsh's plugins directory:
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
2. Activate the plugin in `~/.zshrc`:
plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)
3. Source `~/.zshrc` to take changes into account:
source ~/.zshrc
Note that `zsh-syntax-highlighting` must be the last plugin sourced,
so make it the last element of the `$plugins` array.
### System-wide installation
Either of the above methods is suitable for a single-user installation,
which requires no special privileges. If, however, you desire to install
zsh-syntax-highlighting system-wide, you may do so by running `make install`
and directing your users to add
`source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh`
in their `.zshrc`s.
