Nerd Font (Iosevka) — Quick Install Guide

Simple, copy‑pasteable commands to install Iosevka Nerd Font (IosevkaTerm) on Termux (Android), Linux, and Windows. JetBrainsMono instructions are included below as an alternative.

Related installers:

Termux (Android)

pkg install -y curl unzip
mkdir -p ~/.termux

# Download the Nerd Font zip (Iosevka variant)
TMP="${TMPDIR:-$PREFIX/tmp}"; mkdir -p "$TMP"
curl -fLo "$TMP/IosevkaTerm.zip" \
  https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Iosevka.zip

# Install mono regular TTF as Termux font
unzip -oj "$TMP/Iosevka.zip" '*Mono-Regular.ttf' -d ~/.termux/
mv ~/.termux/IosevkaNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf ~/.termux/font.ttf

# Apply
termux-reload-settings

Notes:

  • Termux uses a single ~/.termux/font.ttf. You can swap to other weights later.

Linux (User-level)

# Debian/Ubuntu: ensure tools
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl unzip fontconfig || true

# Download and install to user fonts
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/IosevkaNerdFont
curl -fLo /tmp/Iosevka.zip \
  https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Iosevka.zip
unzip -o /tmp/Iosevka.zip -d ~/.local/share/fonts/IosevkaNerdFont

# Refresh font cache
fc-cache -fv

Set the font in your terminal config (e.g., Alacritty, WezTerm, Kitty):

  • Use family name Iosevka Nerd Font or Iosevka Nerd Font Mono.

Windows

Using Winget (recommended)

winget install --id NerdFonts.Iosevka -e
# or Term variant
winget install --id NerdFonts.IosevkaTerm -e

Using Chocolatey (alternative)

choco install nerd-fonts-iosevka -y

If package managers aren’t available:

# Manual install via download
$url = "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Iosevka.zip"
$zip = "$env:TEMP\Iosevka.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $zip
Expand-Archive -Force -Path $zip -DestinationPath "$env:TEMP\IosevkaNF"

# Open the folder and install selected TTFs (Ctrl+A → right‑click → Install for all users)
ii "$env:TEMP\IosevkaNF"

Then select the font in your terminal settings (Windows Terminal/Alacritty/WezTerm):

  • Iosevka Nerd Font or Iosevka Nerd Font Mono.
