### Another IDE or an older version of a JetBrains IDE
#### Through brew (MacOS only)
1. Tap the font cask to make the Jetbrains Mono font available :
```console
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
```
2. Install it using the `font-jetbrains-mono` cask:
```console
brew cask install font-jetbrains-mono
```
#### Through Chocolatey (Windows only)
1. Install Chocolatey if you haven't done already. See [this page](https://chocolatey.org/install) for instructions on how to do that.
2. In an elevated cmd console (Run as administrator...) :
```console
choco install jetbrainsmono
```
#### Or manually
_On Mac/Windows_:
1. [Download font](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/releases/latest).
2. Unzip the archive and install the font:
- Mac. Select all font files in the folder and double-click them. Click the *"Install Font"* button.

Once JetBrains Mono is installed in your OS, you are ready to configure the editor.
### **JetBrains IDEs**

#### **Manually editing settings.json**
Visual Studio Code allows you to also edit the underlying settings.json config file. First open the settings editor as described above, then click the "`{}`" icon, at the top right, to open the *"settings.json"* file.
Then paste the following lines and save the file.
```json
"editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,
```
### **ChromeOS Terminal**
In the terminal:
1. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + P to open up settings.

```css
@font-face{
font-family: 'JetBrains Mono';
src: url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/master/fonts/webfonts/JetBrainsMono-Regular.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),

## Which font?
### TL;DR
* Pick your font family and then select from the `'complete'` directory.
* If you are on Windows pick a font with the `'Windows Compatible'` suffix.
* This includes specific tweaks to ensure the font works on Windows, in particular monospace identification and font name length limitations
* If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with the `'Mono'` suffix.
* This denotes that the Nerd Font glyphs will be monospaced not necessarily that the entire font will be monospaced
### Ligatures
By the *Nerd Font* policy, the variant with the `'Mono'` suffix is not supposed to have any ligatures.
Use the non-*Mono* variants to have ligatures.
### Explanation
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (`Droid Sans`, `Inconsolata`, etc) and style (`bold`, `italic`, etc) you have 2 main choices:
#### `Option 1: Download already patched font`
* download an already patched font from the `complete` folder
* This is most likely the one you want. It includes **all** of the glyphs from all of the glyph sets. Only caution here is that some fonts have glyphs in the _same_ code point so to include everything some had to be moved to alternate code points.
#### `Option 2: Patch your own font`
* patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (see each font's readme for full list of combinations available)
* This is the option you want if the font you use is _not_ already included or you want maximum control of what's included
* This contains a list of _all permutations_ of the various glyphs. E.g. You want the font with only [Octicons][octicons] or you want the font with just [Font Awesome][font-awesome] and [Devicons][vorillaz-devicons]. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder.

## Variations (Combinations)
> The combinations and total number of combinations are provided here for reference if you want to create your own variation of a patched Nerd Font.
### Why aren't all variations included ?
Combinations are no longer included by default because of the large inflation in size it caused the Repository _and_ the amount of time it takes to rebuild all of the combinations. This issue would exponentially get worse as the numbers of Fonts and Glyph Sets provided increase.
