1. Make sure you have yay installed. If not, you can install it with the following command:

   sudo pacman -S yay
   

   Once yay is installed, you can install Vip shell by running the following command:

   yay -S vipshell
   

This command will automatically fetch the package from AUR and handle the installation process for you.

Install using a BASH script!

To install Vip shell, simply run the installer script available here.

Or just Copy - Paste in your terminal and use -curl- to start downloading the installer:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NymexData/C-VipNX/master/installer.sh

If you want to use -wget- just copy/paste this line:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NymexData/C-VipNX/master/installer.sh

On macOS to download - wget - just install it with Homebrew:

brew install wget

Important note when installing:

If you encounter issues executing the file in the terminal, like this message "-bash: ./installer.sh: Permission denied", follow these simple steps to fix it:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Navigate to the directory where the installer script is located using the cd command.

3. Run the following command to grant execute permission to the installer script:

   chmod +x installer.sh
   

4. Now you can run the installer without any problems.

   ./installer.sh
   

   NOTE: The script will ask for -sudo permissions-. Just simply type in macOS your macOS user password, and in Linux your -sudo- password.

Now type 'vipshell' in the terminal and enjoy using Vip shell! 😊🚀
