2. right-click and select install for all users.
3. repeat for the other font files.

Set the fontFace in the terminal options:

{
    "guid": "{YOUR-WSL-GUID}",
    "hidden": false,
    "name": "Ubuntu-20.04",
    "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
    "fontFace":"MesloLGS NF"
    
}

(optional) For Visual Studio Code:

Open File → Preferences → Settings, enter terminal.integrated.fontFamily in the search box and set the value to MesloLGS NF.

Quit the terminal session and relaunch

Run the configurator

p10k configurator

Add option for transient prompt (same-dir)

echo "typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_TRANSIENT_PROMPT=same-dir" >> ~/.p10k.zsh

Install plugins

syntax-highlighting

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

autosuggestions

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

In ~/.zshrc add the plugins in plugins=(). The line should now look like

plugins=( git zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions )

If this is a fresh install, use this line to replace automatically.

sed -i 's/plugins=(git)/plugins=( git zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions )/' ~/.zshrc

after saving the file:

source ~/.zshrc
