🚀 Installation Guide

These instructions assume you are using Ubuntu and have Git, wget, and unzip available.

1. Install Nerd Fonts Symbols

Nerd Fonts Symbols provides additional glyphs and icons used by terminal applications and Fastfetch.

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/nerd-symbols
cd ~/.local/share/fonts/nerd-symbols

wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip

unzip NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip
rm NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip

fc-cache -f

2. Install FiraCode Nerd Font

FiraCode Nerd Font provides programming ligatures and additional glyphs for terminal applications.

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/firacode-nerd
cd ~/.local/share/fonts/firacode-nerd

wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/FiraCode.zip

unzip FiraCode.zip
rm FiraCode.zip

fc-cache -f

After installation, open your terminal preferences and select FiraCode Nerd Font as the terminal font.

3. Install and Configure Fastfetch

Update your package lists and install Fastfetch:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install fastfetch

If the package is unavailable in your Ubuntu repositories, follow the installation instructions in the official Fastfetch repository.

Generate the default configuration directory and file:

fastfetch --gen-config

From the root directory of this repository, copy the custom configuration:

mkdir -p ~/.config/fastfetch
cp ./fastfetch/config.jsonc ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc

Run Fastfetch to verify the configuration:

fastfetch

4. Configure the ASCII Logo

Open the Fastfetch configuration file:

nano ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc

Locate the logo configuration and update its source value to point to the ASCII logo you want to use.

For example:

"source": "/home/YOUR_USERNAME/path/to/dotfiles/assets/ascii-logos/lain-1.txt"

Replace the example path with the actual absolute path to your chosen logo file.

Save the file and run Fastfetch again:

fastfetch
