# NerdFonts Installer
This repository contains a POSIX-compliant shell script (`nerdfonts_installer.sh`) for downloading and installing a selection of popular Nerd Fonts on Linux systems. The script automatically detects the operating system, installs necessary dependencies, and provides a user-friendly menu to select and install the desired fonts.
Additionally, the compiled binary version of the script (`nerdfonts-installer`) created using `shc` allows you to run the installer without needing to interpret the script.
---
## Features
- Detects the operating system and selects the appropriate package manager.
- Installs dependencies (`curl`, `tar`, `fontconfig`) if not already present.
- Provides a list of Nerd Fonts to choose from, displayed in a paginated three-column format.
- Downloads and installs selected fonts into `~/.local/share/fonts`.
- Updates the font cache automatically.
---
## Usage
### 1. Using the Shell Script
#### Prerequisites
- A POSIX-compliant shell.
- `curl`, `tar`, and `fontconfig` installed on your system (the script installs these automatically if missing).
#### Running the Script
1. Clone or download the script:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/fam007e/nerd_fonts_installer.git
cd nerd_fonts_installer
```
2. Make the script executable:
```sh
chmod +x nerdfonts_installer.sh
```
3. Run the script:
```sh
./nerdfonts_installer.sh
```
4. Follow the prompts to select and install fonts.
### 2. Using the Binary (`nerdfonts-installer`)
If you have the precompiled binary, you can run it directly:
1. Move the binary to your desired directory:
```sh
mv release/nerdfonts-installer /usr/local/bin/
```
2. Make it executable if needed:
```sh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nerdfonts-installer
```
3. Run the binary:
```sh
nerdfonts-installer
```
The binary version works exactly like the shell script and does not require any shell interpretation.
### 3. Or, run it directly from the terminal `shell`
- Download and run the Installer Script:
```sh
curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fam007e/nerd_fonts_installer/main/nerdfonts_installer.sh | sh
```
- Alternatively, you can download and execute the precompiled binary:
```sh
curl -sSLo nerdfonts-installer https://github.com/fam007e/nerd_fonts_installer/blob/main/release/nerdfonts-installer && chmod +x nerdfonts-installer && ./nerdfonts-installer
```
## Customization
The script can easily be modified to add additional fonts. To add a font:
1. Edit the fonts variable in the script.
2. Add the new font name to the list in the same format as the others.
