Fedora, Change directory quickly with autojump

Why do I create this post?

Damn man, I really expected that after install dnf install autojump-zsh, everything should run without any modification, I can start using j command. But no, command j not found. This post is all about installing autojump on Fedora.

Each user has their favorite shell, I am using zsh. this guide is all about setup autojump on zsh. The methodology is the same for fish or bash.

How to install

Step 1: Install dnf install autojump-zsh -y

$ sudo dnf install autojump-zsh -y
# Output
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Package                                  Arch              Version           Repository        Size
Installing:
 autojump-zsh                            noarch            22.5.3-17.fc41    fedora         2.8 KiB
Installing dependencies:

Transaction Summary:

Complete!

Step 2: Find installed file location rpm -ql autojump-zsh

$ rpm -ql autojump-zsh
# Output
/usr/share/autojump/autojump.zsh
/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_j

Step 3: Load autojump.zsh when start terminal

I am using zsh, it means that I need modify ~/.zshrc and append source /usr/share/autojump/autojump.zsh.

It will load autojump.zsh when terminal start.

# File ~/.zshrc

source /usr/share/autojump/autojump.zsh

Good luck, have fun!
