For Ubuntu Linux

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsh

Install Powerline Fonts for agnoster theme

It is not necessary for Server

cd to/wherever/you/like 
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts powerline-fonts 
cd powerline-fonts 
./install.sh 

• Open ~/.zshrc and change (Do only this on Server)

ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

to

ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

• Now, you need to change the terminal font to one of powerline ones.

e.g.) Mac OS X

FiraCode

I also recommend FiraCode font, which supports ligatures. Both macOS's Terminal and iTerm2 support ligatures.

In iTerm2, Open Preferences (Cmd+,)

1. Profiles tab
2. Select the profile you're using (or just the default one with *)
3. Move to the Text tab
4. Check the Use ligatures option

Install zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins 
git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git 

• Open ~/.zshrc and change

plugins=(git)

to

plugins=(git zsh-syntax-highlighting)
