With most desktop-oriented distributions, double-clicking each font file in the ttf folder and selecting “Install font” should be enough. If it isn’t, create and run `download_and_install.sh` script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

fonts_dir="${HOME}/.local/share/fonts"
if [ ! -d "${fonts_dir}" ]; then
echo "mkdir -p $fonts_dir"
mkdir -p "${fonts_dir}"
else
echo "Found fonts dir $fonts_dir"
fi

for type in Bold Light Medium Regular Retina; do
file_path="${HOME}/.local/share/fonts/FiraCode-${type}.ttf"
file_url="https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/blob/master/distr/ttf/FiraCode-${type}.ttf?raw=true"
if [ ! -e "${file_path}" ]; then
echo "wget -O $file_path $file_url"
wget -O "${file_path}" "${file_url}"
else
echo "Found existing file $file_path"
fi;
done

echo "fc-cache -f"
fc-cache -f

FreeBSD

Enabling ligatures
==================

Atom
----

To change your font to Fira Code, open Atom's preferences (`cmd + ,` on a Mac, `ctrl + ,` on PC), make sure the "Settings" tab is selected, or the "Editor" in Atom 1.10+, and scroll down to "Editor Settings". In the "Font Family" field, enter `Fira Code`.

If you wish to specify a font weight, for example, Light, use `Fira Code Light` as a font name (Windows) or `FiraCode-Light` (macOS).

Ligatures are enabled by default in Atom 1.9 and above.


VS Code
-------

To open the settings editor, first from the File menu choose Preferences, Settings or use keyboard shortcut `Ctrl + ,` (Windows) or `Cmd + ,` (macOS).

To enable FiraCode in the settings editor, under "Commonly Used", expand the "Text Editor" settings and then click on "Font". In the "Font Family" input box type `Fira Code`, replacing any content. Tick the check box "Enables/Disables font ligatures" under "Font Ligatures" to enable the special ligatures.

If you wish to specify a font weight, for example, Light, use `Fira Code Light` as a font name (Windows) or `FiraCode-Light` (macOS).


IntelliJ products
-----------------

1. Enable in Settings → Editor → Font → Enable Font Ligatures
2. Select `Fira Code` as "Primary font" under Settings → Editor → Font

Additionally, if a Color Scheme is selected:

3. Enable in Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → Color Scheme Font → Enable Font Ligatures
4. Select Fira Code as "Primary font" under Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → Color Scheme Font


BBEdit
------

1. Install FiraCode as per the [macOS installation instructions](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/Installing#macos)
2. Open BBEdit preferences, Editor Defaults, assign Fira Code as the Default font


Brackets
--------

1. From the `View` menu choose `Themes....`
2. Paste `'Fira Code'`, at the beginning of `Font Family`


Emacs
-----

There are a few options when it comes down to using ligatures in
Emacs. They are listed in order of preferred to less-preferred. Pick one!

1. Using composition mode in Emacs Mac port

If you're using the latest Mac port of Emacs (https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac by Mitsuharu Yamamoto) for macOS, you can use:

(mac-auto-operator-composition-mode)

This is generally the easiest solution, but can only be used on macOS.

2. Using prettify-symbols

These instructions are pieced together by https://github.com/Triavanicus, taking some pieces from https://github.com/minad/hasklig-mode.

This method requires you to install the Fira Code Symbol font, made by https://github.com/siegebell:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/211#issuecomment-239058632

(defun fira-code-mode--make-alist (list)
"Generate prettify-symbols alist from LIST."
(let ((idx -1))
(mapcar
(lambda (s)
(setq idx (1+ idx))
(let* ((code (+ #Xe100 idx))
(width (string-width s))
(prefix ())
(suffix '(?\s (Br . Br)))
(n 1))
(while (< n width)
(setq prefix (append prefix '(?\s (Br . Bl))))
(setq n (1+ n)))
(cons s (append prefix suffix (list (decode-char 'ucs code))))))
list)))

Add before "ignored_packages":

"font_face": "Fira Code",
"font_options": ["subpixel_antialias"],

If you want enable antialias, add in font_options: "gray_antialias"


Visual Studio
-------------

1. Launch Visual Studio (2015 or later).
2. Launch the Options dialog by opening the "Tools" menu and selecting "Options".
3. In the Options dialog, under the "Environment" category, you'll find "Fonts and Colors". Click on that. You'll see a combo-box on the right hand side of the dialog labelled "Font". Select "Fira Code" from that combo-box.
4. Click "OK" to dismiss.
5. Restart Visual Studio.

Now, most FiraCode ligatures will work. A notable exception is the hyphen-based ligatures (e.g. the C++ dereference '->'). See https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/422 for details.
