[Starship](https://starship.rs) is a cross-platform and cross-shell prompt for developers, similar to oh-my-zsh, but with a focus on performance and simplicity.
It also has full Pixi support.
You can install it using the following command:
```bash
pixi global install starship
```
!!!tip ""
For information about how to configure and set up starship, see the [official documentation](https://starship.rs/config/#pixi).
In order for starship to always find the right python executable, you can adjust its configuration file.
```toml title="~/.config/starship.toml"
[python]
# customize python binary path for pixi
python_binary = [
# this is the python from PATH if in a pixi shell
# (assuming you don't have python on your global PATH)
"python",
# fall back to pixi's python if it's available
".pixi/envs/default/bin/python",
]
```
By default, starship uses 🧚🏻 as pixi's symbol. You can adjust it as follows if you want a different symbol
```toml title="~/.config/starship.toml"
[pixi]
symbol = "📦 "
```
As starship already displays a custom message when a pixi environment is active, you can disable pixi's custom PS1:
```plaintext
pixi config set shell.change-ps1 "false"
```
