Install commands
================

Archlinux
---------

Liquid Prompt is not available in the official repositories. However someone
provides a ``PKGBUILD`` on AUR. Liquid Prompt is not responsible for this
recipe, thus use it at your own risk.

Please refer to the `Archlinux documentation`_ to know how to use it, if you
are unsure.

Debian

... and Debian derivatives.

   :alt: Ubuntu 24.04 package
   :target: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/liquidprompt

.. code-block::

   apt-get install liquidprompt

A small script, ``liquidprompt_activate`` (not to be confused with
:func:`lp_activate`) is included to ease activation of the prompt, which can be
used instead of the :ref:`shell-installation` instructions.

This will set the required environment:

* The files ``~/.bashrc`` and/or ``~/.zshrc`` are modified to load Liquid Prompt
  at startup.
* If no previous ``~/.config/liquidpromptrc`` file exists, it will be created.

So, to get Liquid Prompt working simply run:

.. code-block::

   liquidprompt_activate
   source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

Be aware that multiple invocations of the ``liquidprompt_activate`` command may
pollute ``~/.bashrc`` and/or ``~/.zshrc`` files.
