- This is a tutorial on how to install customize kitty terminal, and its most stable and basic configuration you can configure more things let’s start.
1. **To install kitty use the following command:**
`$ sudo pacman -Sy kitty`
```auto
enable_audio_bell no
include ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf
#include color.ini
font_family HackNerdFont
font_size 13
disable_ligatures never
url_color #61afef
url_style curly
map f1 copy_to_buffer a
map f2 paste_from_buffer a
map f3 copy_to_buffer b
map f4 paste_from_buffer b
cursor_shape beam
cursor_beam_thickness 1.8
mause_hide_wait 3.0
detect_urls yes
repaint_delay 10
input_delay 3
sync_to_monitor yes
map ctrl+shift+z toggle_layout stack
tab_bar_style powerline
inactive_tab_background #e06c75
active_tab_background #98c379
inactive_tab_foreground #000000
tab_bar_margin_color black
map ctrl+shift+enter new_window_with_cwd
map ctrl+shift+t new_tab_with_cwd
background_opacity 0.95
shell zsh #here goes zsh 0 bash de depending on your shell I use zsh
```
1. **we create a folder in the path** ~/.config/kitty/kitty-themes with the following command :
```auto
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/kitty/kitty-themes
$ cd ~/kitty/kitty-themes
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dexpota/kitty-themes.git ~/.config/kitty/kitty-themes
```
3. **Choose a theme and create a symlink:**
```auto
$ cd ~/.config/kitty
$ touch theme.conf
$ ln -s ./kitty-themes/themes/ayu.conf ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf
```
- To change the theme just put the name of the theme in the symbolic link for example :
$ ln -s ./kitty-themes/themes/ayu.conf ~/.config/kitty/theme.conf
Any questions or advice I am available! I hope it is useful!!!

NB. Kitty terminal background lives for tens of seconds only because Mabox ‘knows’ that it is a terminal and overwrites with that of Terminal theme of Mabox Colorizer.

Mabox have theme.sh configured by default to easily choose from ~400 themes available → [GitHub - lemnos/theme.sh: A script which lets you set your $terminal theme.](https://github.com/lemnos/theme.sh)
Just type:
```auto
th
```
and you can select theme you need interactively.
If you don’t like that and want to configure terminal theme yourself then you have to look at `.bashrc` and disable theme.sh
