exa not installed ? Alias not working? #1

To display folder icons I'm using the program "exa" which is a modern replacement for the "ls" command. When you haven't installed exa on your system, it's presenting you a warning and enabling ls for backward compatibility.

Here you can see where to get and install exa: https://github.com/ogham/exa

Thank you. I am not able to able to install exa regularly since I cannot get the "libgit2-24" dependency. However, I was able to install it with cargo. Still having that echo Warning. I just removed that line. Problem solve:)

Just in case someone else, like me (Linux newb) has trouble with installing exa in WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. If you get this when trying to install

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package exa

Do this

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/rust-exa/exa_0.9.0-4_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./exa_0.9.0-4_amd64.deb

I found this solution here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1290552

Remove the annoying text, when exa isn't installed.
