For those on Mac who want to customize Terminal to make it prettier, this post could be very useful. It provides step-by-step instructions and I've just followed the instructions to configure my Terminal. It now looks like:

Things to be cautious about:

• We do not need to follow 2.1 Install Python since we have installed anaconda
• 2.4 Install Powerline: I think it is easier to do pip install -U powerline-status
• For 2.5.2 Add the daemon with a proper location to .bash_profile, type touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile in your terminal to open .bash_profile. Once .bash_profile is open, add the following:

powerline-daemon -q
POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1
. /anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh

We do not need the first line export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin suggested in the post. The last line . /anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh could be slightly different. Run pip show powerline-status in your terminal to check the Location field.

Let me know if you need any help with this.
