Git

Check Installing from Source part of the guide.

What I do is a little different from it:

Curl

Since git depend on curl, I installed curl from source according to this guide.

Git

# Download git and uncompress
$ tar -zxf git-2.18.0.tar.gz
$ cd git-2.18.0
$ make configure

# Define CURLDIR=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl if your curl header and library files are # in /public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl/include and /public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl/lib # directories.
$ ./configure CURLDIR=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl --prefix=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/git

# Since we don't need docs actually, just 'make'.
$ make CURLDIR=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl
$ make install CURLDIR=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/curl

If you encounter missing dependencies, just google and install them from source. For me, I installed xmlto and asciidoc.

oh-my-zsh

Zsh

Zsh should be installed (v4.3.9 or more recent). If not pre-installed (zsh –version to confirm), check the following instruction here: Installing ZSH.

oh-my-zsh

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh

2. Create a new zsh configuration file

   cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc

3. Since I’m using bash, I added this to .bashrc:

   exec /public/home/zhangxin/softwares/zsh/bin/zsh -l

   Howerver, I got this error:

/etc/zshrc:54: compinit: function definition file not found
/public/home/zhangxin/.oh-my-zsh/lib/theme-and-appearance.zsh:2: colors: function definition file not found

This can be fixed by adding this line to .bashrc before zsh:

export FPATH=/public/home/zhangxin/softwares/zsh/share/zsh/5.5.1/functions:$FPATH
