Install only the prompt

Install Starship:
shInstall Starship
```
brew install starship
```
Enable it in the current Zsh session:
shEnable Starship
```
eval "$(starship init zsh)"
```

Back up ~/.config/starship.toml, then download the preset you want. For example:

mkdir -p ~/.config
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://theme.santi020k.com/terminal/starship/santi020k-dark.toml -o ~/.config/starship.toml

mkdir -p ~/.config
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://theme.santi020k.com/terminal/starship/santi020k-light.toml -o ~/.config/starship.toml

Install a Nerd Font

The Powerline separators and symbols require a Nerd Font. The site preview uses CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font at 15 pt with approximately 110% vertical spacing.

brew install --cask font-caskaydia-cove-nerd-font
