Can't use command prompt

[aishalih]

I've just installed prezto, and when I want to use prompt command, it says zsh: command not found: prompt, I've check the module and the prompt module is already installed, Did I miss something?

The prompt module should be last in the module loading list in zpreztorc. It doesn't look like you installed it properly. Check the rc files.

Here is my rc, I leave it default, haven't installed any module.

zstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule \
  'environment' \
  'terminal' \
  'editor' \
  'history' \
  'directory' \
  'spectrum' \
  'utility' \
  'completion' \
  'prompt'

In prezto's page, I've read the Troubleshooting part

If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to Prezto, modify the PATH variable in ~/.zprofile then open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.

Where should I point the PATH to? If i use Ubuntu Linux.

Is it in your home directory?

[aishalih]

yes, all of .z* are in home directory, include .zprezto directory

Ensure that you don't have old files. Check to see if the runcoms were linked properly.

I reinstall it and everything goes well, thanks Sorin.

Hi @sorin-ionescu I'm facing this same issue. In the troubleshooting tips duplicated at the top here, I also don't understand where to point the PATH to. I'm using Mac OS X.

How do I ensure I don't have any old files? I don't know what Check to see if the runcoms were linked properly means.

Thanks for any help!

The solution should be actually very simpel. Just check your home directory for any .z* files, if you find any and are not sure about deleting them create a backup. Afterwards just remove than and run through the installation routine again. Check that everything works properly and move your previous configuration (I recommend doing it step by step) to the newly created files e.g. .zshrc.
