Based on your prompt style choices, the configuration wizard creates +`~/.p10k.zsh` with a bunch of `POWERLEVEL9K_*` parameters in it and adds a line to `~/.zshrc` to +source this file. The next time you start zsh, the configuration wizard shouldn't run automatically. +If it does, this means the evaluation of `~/.zshrc` terminates prematurely before it reaches the +line that sources `~/.p10k.zsh`. This most often happens due to syntax errors in `~/.zshrc`. These +errors get hidden by the configuration wizard screen, so you don't notice them. Scroll up in the +first configuration wizard screen to see these errors. Alternatively, type +`POWERLEVEL9K_DISABLE_CONFIGURATION_WIZARD=true zsh` to start zsh without automatically running the +configuration wizard. Once you can see the errors, fix `~/.zshrc` to get rid of them and to ensure +that the whole file gets evaluated when you start zsh. + ### I cannot install the recommended font. Help!
