# File icons for the Ranger file manager
|
|
|
|
This plugin introduces a new linemode that prefixes file names with a file icon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
This plugin uses glyphs from a patched NERDfont. So in order for this plugin to work you need to
|
|
install a NERDfont and set it as the default font for your terminal.
|
|
|
|
I personally use the Source Code Pro patched NERDfont(this is also the font displayed in the
|
|
screenshot), this and other NERDfonts and the install instructions for these fonts can be found in
|
|
the following repository: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
|
|
|
|
## Install instructions
|
|
Ranger has added support for loading directories in the plugins folder which makes it easier to install and keep plugins updated.
|
|
To install, just clone the repo into the plugins folder:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/alexanderjeurissen/ranger_devicons ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_devicons
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then execute the following `echo "default_linemode devicons" >> $HOME/.config/ranger/rc.conf` (or wherever your `rc.conf` is located).
