Configuration to use Hyper.js as a Zsh terminal with a Windows Subsystem Linux on windows 10, with Oh My Zsh and the Powerlevel10k theme

• Go to : https://dev.to/vsalbuq/how-to-install-oh-my-zsh-on-windows-10-home-edition-49g2

• install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Microsoft Store (ex: Ubuntu)

• install zsh

• install oh my zsh

• install powerlevel 10k

• install fonts and set it on your terminal app (hyperjs) : https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k

• Go to C:\Users\YourAccoutName\AppData\Roaming\Hyper

• Open the file .hyper

• Around line 95 change params to :

•   `shell: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe',`      
    
    `shellArgs: ['~'],`
  

• Set default directory path of your zsh terminal

•   `echo "cd ~/path" >> ~/.zshrc`
  

• If your path is in another disk :

•   `echo "cd mnt/disk_letter/eventually_a_folder" >> ~/.zshrc`
  

• Reinstall node and npm for this shell :

• This is for version 16 (view current LTS version):

    `curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -`
    
    `sudo apt-get install -y nodejs`
  

• Then install build tools so you can install add-ons for npm later

    `sudo apt-get install -y build-essential`
  

• Now you can type in

    `npm -v`
    
    `node -v`
    
    `Same thing: nodejs -v`
  

• To summarise, edit ~/.profile and change your PATH to this:

    `PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH"`
