Install

1. There are two main ways to install Zsh

• with the package manager of your choice, e.g. sudo apt install zsh (see below for more examples)
• from source, following instructions from the Zsh FAQ

2. Verify installation by running zsh --version. Expected result: zsh 5.4.2 or more recent.
3. Make it your default shell: chsh -s $(which zsh)

• Note that this will not work if Zsh is not in your authorized shells list (/etc/shells) or if you don't have permission to use chsh. If that's the case you'll need to use a different procedure. #Debian sudo su chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh root

4. Log out and login back again to use your new default shell.
5. Test that it worked with echo $SHELL. Expected result: /bin/zsh or similar.
6. Test with $SHELL --version. Expected result: 'zsh 5.4.2' or similar
