How to Install Catppuccin Theme Across Your Entire Setup

Catppuccin is a pastel-themed color scheme that brings a soft, aesthetic vibe to your development setup. If you’re into cohesive visuals, this guide will walk you through how to install Catppuccin themes in Neovim, tmux, WezTerm, Firefox/Chrome (with Dark Reader), Lazygit, and Alfred.

neovim

Neovim has full support for Catppuccin, and it’s super easy to set up.

Installation (Lazy.nvim)

If you’re using Lazy.nvim, just add this snippet to your plugin list:

{
  "catppuccin/nvim",
  name = "catppuccin",
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    require("catppuccin").setup({
      flavour = "mocha", -- Options: "latte", "macchiato", "frappe", "mocha"
    })
    vim.cmd.colorscheme "catppuccin"
  end,
}

tmux

Want to bring the Catppuccin aesthetic to your terminal multiplexer? Here’s how.

Installation

I recommend using TPM to download and manage catppuccin.

set -g @plugin 'catppuccin/tmux#v2.1.3' # See https://github.com/catppuccin/tmux/tags for additional tags
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'

Then, add this to your ~/.tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'catppuccin/tmux'
set -g @catppuccin_flavour 'mocha'
run '~/.tmux/catppuccin/catppuccin.tmux'

Finally, reload tmux:

tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

WezTerm

WezTerm users can get the cozy Catppuccin vibes with a simple config tweak.

Installation

Open your ~/.wezterm.lua file and add:

-- https://github.com/catppuccin/wezterm?tab=readme-ov-file#usage
function scheme_for_appearance(appearance)
  if appearance:find "Dark" then
    return "Catppuccin Mocha"
  else
    return "Catppuccin Latte"
  end
end

return {
  color_scheme = scheme_for_appearance(wezterm.gui.get_appearance()),
}

Firefox / Chrome (Dark Reader)

Dark Reader makes it easy to apply custom themes to your browser.

Firefox & Chrome

1. Install Dark Reader .
2. Open Dark Reader settings, go to Theme, and import the Catppuccin Dark Reader Theme .

Lazygit

If you use Lazygit for managing Git in the terminal, you can make it look great with Catppuccin.

Installation

Edit ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml and update the colors:

gui:
  theme:
    lightTheme: false
    activeBorderColor:
      - "#cdd6f4"
      - bold
    inactiveBorderColor: "#45475a"
    selectedLineBgColor: "#313244"
    selectedRangeBgColor: "#45475a"

Mac users can style Alfred with Catppuccin, too.
