I gave it a spin. First it complained about aspell dictionaries, then I tried installing a package in an effort to improve the prompt from simply saying "murex":

    murex » murex-package install https://github.com/orefalo/murex-module-starship
    \* Getting package from 'https://github.com/orefalo/murex-module-starship'....
    Error in `murex-package` (0,1): protocol handler for HTTPS has not yet been written. Please use git in the mean time (you can do this by specifying a git extension in the uri)
    .murex_modules » murex-package install https://github.com/orefalo/murex-module-starship.git
    \* Getting package from 'https://github.com/orefalo/murex-module-starship.git'....
    Cloning into '/home/aroedset/.murex_modules/murex-module-starship'...
    Error in `murex-package` (0,1): \* Package 'murex-module-starship': Error loading module `starship` in path `/home/aroedset/.murex_modules/murex-module-starship/starship.mx`:
                              >   \* Missing required executable, builtin or murex function: `starship`
    .murex_modules »      

And then the time I allocated for myself for trying out a random shell I found on the internet was up.


You seem pretty harsh considering these all appear to be user error.

You forgot the .git when you tried first, and you don’t have starship installed on your system or on your path.


why not say thank you for the bug report and improve the software instead?


The first is definitely a known limitation already, so a bug report isn't particularly useful, and the second is not a bug, just a missing dependency. Maybe the error messages could be friendlier, but they're not particularly difficult to parse.


Is that a bug? Starship is not installed.
