Install Jetbrains Mono fonts on Ubuntu

Another font option for programmers is Jetbrains Mono. For me, compared to other mono fonts, Jetbrains Mono is clearer and pleasing to the eye. Here are instructions to install it on Ubuntu.

Download font zip file, current version is 2.242, please check Jetbrains's website for lastest one:

curl -L -o JetBraninsMono-2.242.zip https://download.jetbrains.com/fonts/JetBrainsMono-2.242.zip

Unzip downloaded file:

unzip ./JetBraninsMono-2.242.zip -d ~/jetbrains-fonts

Copy fonts to local share directory:

cp ./jetbrains-fonts/fonts/ttf/JetBrainsMono-*.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts
rm -rf ./jetbrains-fonts

Or install it on system-wide, you will need sudo permission to do that

sudo cp ./jetbrains-fonts/fonts/ttf/JetBrainsMono-*.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts
rm -rf ./jetbrains-fonts
