Powerline - No such file or directory /scripts/powerline-config

Question

i am using ubuntu 18. I am trying to add powerline to my oh-my-zsh terminal.

I have installed powerline like so.

pip3 install powerline-status

Then i edit my ~/.zshrc file to include:

. /home/kay/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/zsh/powerline.zsh


 pip3 show powerline-status

When i restart the terminal i get the following error:

/home/kay/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/zsh/powerline.zsh:210: no such file or directory: /home/kay/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scripts/powerline-config

Answer 1

It works for me:

1. mkdir $HOME/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scripts/ if not exists

2. Find where powerline-config locates. For example $HOME/.local/bin/powerline-config

3. cp $HOME/.local/bin/powerline* $HOME/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scripts/.
