Each supported app has its own subfolder with separate install instructions, no universal install command exists.

In plain English

Aura is a dark color theme that you can apply to many different apps to give them a consistent look. A color theme changes things like the background color, text color, and how syntax in code files is highlighted. Aura uses a dark palette with soft, muted tones. The theme is packaged separately for each supported app, so you only install the version for what you actually use. On the code editor and IDE side, it covers Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, CodeSandbox, Neovim, Zed, Xcode, IntelliJ, and Notepad++. For terminals, there are packages for Hyper, Windows Terminal, Alacritty, iTerm, rxvt-unicode, Termux, the macOS Terminal app, GNOME Terminal, and Kitty. The README shows icon grids for each supported app with links to the individual package folders in the repository. Beyond editor and terminal themes, the repository also includes a color palette reference and desktop wallpapers that match the theme's colors. There is a shop section linked from the README as well, though the README does not describe what is sold there. Each package lives in a separate subfolder under packages/ in the repository, so if you want the VS Code version, you go to the packages/vscode folder and follow that package's instructions. The README does not include a single universal install command because the process differs per app. The project accepts financial support through Patreon and allows people to fund specific open issues through IssueHunt. It has also been listed on ProductHunt. The theme is an open source personal project, not affiliated with any of the apps it targets.
