Prerequisites

Before using this theme, you need to have Oh My Posh installed on your system.

Install Oh My Posh

For Windows (PowerShell):

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

For Windows (via Scoop):

scoop install oh-my-posh

For Windows (via Chocolatey):

choco install oh-my-posh

For Linux/macOS:

# Using Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install oh-my-posh

# Or using the install script
curl -s https://ohmyposh.dev/install.sh | bash -s

Installation Steps

Step 1: Download the Theme File

1. Clone this repository or download the phosphor.omp.json file
2. Save the file to a location on your system (e.g., C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\phosphor.omp.json)

Step 2: Configure PowerShell Profile

1. Open PowerShell
2. Check if you have a PowerShell profile by running:

   Test-Path $PROFILE

3. If it returns False, create a profile:

   New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force

4. Open your profile in a text editor:

   notepad $PROFILE

   Or use your preferred editor:

   code $PROFILE

Step 3: Add Theme Configuration

Add the following lines to your PowerShell profile (replace the path with your actual theme file location):

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "C:\path\to\phosphor.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Example:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\phosphor.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Step 4: Install Required Fonts (Optional but Recommended)

Oh My Posh uses special characters and icons. For the best experience, install a Nerd Font:

1. Download a Nerd Font from nerdfonts.com
   • Recommended: MesloLGS NF, FiraCode Nerd Font, or Cascadia Code
2. Install the font by:
   • Extracting the downloaded zip file
   • Right-clicking on the font files (.ttf)
   • Selecting "Install" for each font
3. Configure your terminal to use the Nerd Font:
   • Windows Terminal: Settings → Appearance → Font → Select your Nerd Font
   • PowerShell: Right-click title bar → Properties → Font → Select your Nerd Font

Step 5: Reload Your Profile

After saving your profile, reload it:

. $PROFILE

Or simply close and reopen your PowerShell window.

Verification

After completing the installation, you should see:

• A power icon (⚡) at the beginning of your prompt
• Current time in brackets
• Your username
• Current directory path
• Git branch name (if in a git repository)
• A prompt symbol (❯) at the end
