Once zsh is installed, oh-my-zsh could be installed via

Then zsh syntax highlighting tool could be downloaded by

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Finally set it up by source

Editors

VIM

Some themes in vim might not be available when the terminal supports true color, but you have not define this in .vimrc, In April Vim merged patch 7.4.1799, which appears to simplify settings for using true colors in the terminal. After upgrading to this patch, users simply had to include set termguicolors in their vimrc to get true colors in the terminal– the one caveat being that it has to be a terminal like iTerm2 that also supports “true colors”.

You should define this for Iterm:

" gui colors if running iTerm
if $TERM_PROGRAM =~ "iTerm"
  set termguicolors
endif

So vim will be something like this:

It also works well with editing with YouCompleteMe, here is a python version for it.

Tmux

iTerm

You should have a test for determing whether the specific terminal like iTerm supports true color or not by executing:

perl test.pl

and the results will be something like this:

Here we can use the embeded function

imgcat

in iTerm for perviewing images in terminal.

ipython

This theme also works for iPython kernels
