🤝 Requirements

Before we begin, let's make sure you have the following installed:

Zsh (v5.2 or recent) must be installed. Run the following command to check you version of Zsh:
```
echo $ZSH_VERSION #> 5.8.1
```
Powerline Font or Nerd Font (even better) must be installed and used in your terminal. Fira Code is a popular choice. To check if Powerline Font works for you, run:
```
echo -e "\xee\x82\xa0" #> 
```
