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.

Archlinux User package

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

Debian

… and Debian derivatives.

Debian Unstable package Ubuntu 22.04 package MX Linux MX-19 Testing package
apt-get install liquidprompt

A small script, liquidprompt_activate (not to be confused with lp_activate()) is included to ease activation of the prompt, which can be used instead of the 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:

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

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

Homebrew

Homebrew package
brew install liquidprompt
