How to use this skill
1. **Identify the user's OS** → follow the matching installation guide:
- [Windows installation](/skills/ohmyposh/installation/windows.md)
- [macOS installation](/skills/ohmyposh/installation/macos.md)
- [Linux installation](/skills/ohmyposh/installation/linux.md)
2. **Identify the user's shell** → follow the matching shell setup guide:
- [PowerShell](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/powershell.md)
- [Bash](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/bash.md)
- [Zsh](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/zsh.md)
- [Fish](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/fish.md)
- [Nu / Nushell](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/nu.md)
- [Cmd (via Clink)](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/cmd.md)
- [Elvish](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/elvish.md)
- [Xonsh](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/xonsh.md)
- [Yash](/skills/ohmyposh/shell/yash.md)
3. **Install a Nerd Font** — required for icons and glyphs:
oh-my-posh font install meslo
`oh-my-posh font list` prints every installable font. Recommended: **Meslo LGM NF**. Set it in the terminal emulator's font settings after installing.
4. **Customize the prompt** → see [configuration](/skills/ohmyposh/configuration.md)
Detect the current shell
If the user is unsure which shell they are using (requires oh-my-posh to be installed first):
oh-my-posh get shell
Troubleshooting
- **Icons show as boxes** — install a Nerd Font and set it in the terminal emulator.
- **`oh-my-posh` not found after install** — restart the terminal or add the install path to `$PATH`.
- **Slow prompt** -- enable async rendering by setting `"async": true` at the top level of your config.
