How do I add colored-manpages plugin to my zsh profile (using oh-my-zsh)?
7,525
Just add the plugin to the plugins
definition in .zshrc
:
plugins=(last-working-dir colored-man-pages)
Then start a new shell and you'll see the plugin activated.

I am using oh-my-zsh and in oh-my-zsh there is a plugin called colord-manpages in the listing -
┌─[shirish@debian] - [~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins] - [10199] └─[$] ll | grep colored drwxr-xr-x 2 shirish shirish 4096 2015-12-30 14:27 colored-man-pages
This is the output of .zshrc -
─[$] grep -Ev '#' .zshrc export ZSH=/home/shirish/.oh-my-zsh ZSH_THEME="duellj" plugins=(last-working-dir) export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include/SDL2" source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
and this is the output of ~/.oh-my-zsh/oh-my-zsh.sh script -
[$] grep -v '#' oh-my-zsh.sh if [ "$DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE" != "true" ]; then env ZSH=$ZSH DISABLE_UPDATE_PROMPT=$DISABLE_UPDATE_PROMPT zsh -f $ZSH/tools/check_for_upgrade.sh fi fpath=($ZSH/functions $ZSH/completions $fpath) autoload -U compaudit compinit : ${ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX:=true} if [[ -z "$ZSH_CUSTOM" ]]; then ZSH_CUSTOM="$ZSH/custom" fi if [[ -z "$ZSH_CACHE_DIR" ]]; then ZSH_CACHE_DIR="$ZSH/cache" fi for config_file ($ZSH/lib/*.zsh); do custom_config_file="${ZSH_CUSTOM}/lib/${config_file:t}" [ -f "${custom_config_file}" ] && config_file=${custom_config_file} source $config_file done is_plugin() { local base_dir=$1 local name=$2 test -f $base_dir/plugins/$name/$name.plugin.zsh \ || test -f $base_dir/plugins/$name/_$name } for plugin ($plugins); do if is_plugin $ZSH_CUSTOM $plugin; then fpath=($ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/$plugin $fpath) elif is_plugin $ZSH $plugin; then fpath=($ZSH/plugins/$plugin $fpath) fi done if [[ "$OSTYPE" = darwin* ]]; then SHORT_HOST=$(scutil --get ComputerName 2>/dev/null) || SHORT_HOST=${HOST/.*/} else SHORT_HOST=${HOST/.*/} fi if [ -z "$ZSH_COMPDUMP" ]; then ZSH_COMPDUMP="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zcompdump-${SHORT_HOST}-${ZSH_VERSION}" fi if [[ $ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX != true ]]; then if ! compaudit &>/dev/null; then handle_completion_insecurities else compinit -d "${ZSH_COMPDUMP}" fi else compinit -i -d "${ZSH_COMPDUMP}" fi for plugin ($plugins); do if [ -f $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/$plugin/$plugin.plugin.zsh ]; then source $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/$plugin/$plugin.plugin.zsh elif [ -f $ZSH/plugins/$plugin/$plugin.plugin.zsh ]; then source $ZSH/plugins/$plugin/$plugin.plugin.zsh fi done for config_file ($ZSH_CUSTOM/*.zsh(N)); do source $config_file done unset config_file if [ "$ZSH_THEME" = "random" ]; then themes=($ZSH/themes/*zsh-theme) ((N=(RANDOM%N)+1)) RANDOM_THEME=${themes[$N]} source "$RANDOM_THEME" echo "[oh-my-zsh] Random theme '$RANDOM_THEME' loaded..." else if [ ! "$ZSH_THEME" = "" ]; then if [ -f "$ZSH_CUSTOM/$ZSH_THEME.zsh-theme" ]; then source "$ZSH_CUSTOM/$ZSH_THEME.zsh-theme" elif [ -f "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/$ZSH_THEME.zsh-theme" ]; then source "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/$ZSH_THEME.zsh-theme" else source "$ZSH/themes/$ZSH_THEME.zsh-theme" fi fi fi
Can anybody tell/share what I should be doing so that colored-manpages function the moment I use zsh as my xterm ?
I tried googling but couldn't find anything :(
