# Configuration

## For new users

On the first run, Powerlevel10k configuration wizard will ask you a few questions and configure your prompt. If it doesn't trigger automatically, type `p10k configure`. Configuration wizard creates `~/.p10k.zsh` based on your preferences. Additional prompt customization can be done by editing this file. It has plenty of comments to help you navigate through configuration options.
