The installation path of powerlevel9k is now configurable by setting the variable POWERLEVEL9K_INSTALLATION_PATH. The value must be set to the exact location of the powerlevel9k.zsh-theme file (including the file name).

This has only effect if you load your theme as a function and your ZSH version is below 5.0.8.
