Install commands

Archlinux

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 Liquidprompt at startup.

  • If no previous ~/.config/liquidpromptrc file exists, it will be created.

So, to get Liquidprompt 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.
