How can I install iterm2 bash-it themes?

Question

The instructions aren't too newbie friendly. At least not for me.

Here is the github repo for bash-it: https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it

I was able to clone the repo and run it.

Immediately once I close then reopen iterm I get the following errors. How can I resolve these?

I tried simply entering:

install argcomplete

sudo install argcomplete

sudo pip install argcomplete

nothing works.

Ultimately I want to install themes, specifically Zork: https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it/wiki/Themes

The instructions simply say, export the BASH_IT_THEME variable. It doesn't tell you how. Then it says to define the following ... in your shell, but not how.

Can anyone help here?

Answer 1

Exporting a variable is simply done through

export variable

Exporting a Variable means it won't be just active in your currently opened shell but will also be available in programs that are being ran from that shell.

So for the Zork theme, do the following:

export BASH_IT_THEME='Zork'

To install pip (a packet manager for python), do the following:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

Afterwards, install pygments via

sudo pip install Pygments

argcomplete needs to be installed via pip as well:

pip install argcomplete
