Download

You can download the latest release from GitHub, using git or downloading the theme file directly.

Install with Git

To download to ~/liquidprompt-powerline, run:

git clone --branch stable https://github.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt-powerline.git ~/liquidprompt-powerline

Or, if you want to use the development (non-stable) branch:

git clone https://github.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt-powerline.git ~/liquidprompt-powerline

Install by direct download

If you do not have git, you can download and extract the source in zip or gzip format directly from the release page.

Alternatively, you can download the theme file directly:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt-powerline/stable/powerline.theme

Or, if you want to use the development (non-stable) branch:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt-powerline/main/powerline.theme

Setup

By default, the dividers and markers used are the Powerline private characters. You will either need a compatible font, or to configure the dividers and markers to use other characters.

See the Powerline Fonts installation docs for help.

Usage

See the Liquid Prompt documentation on switching themes for details on how to load and use these themes.
