Oh My Zsh with autosuggestions & syntax-highlighting + PowerLevel10k.

Zsh?

Oh My Zsh is a framework for Zsh, the Z shell.

  • In order for Oh My Zsh to work, Zsh must be installed.
    • Please run zsh --version to confirm.
    • Expected result: zsh 5.0.8 or more recent
  • Additionally, Zsh should be set as your default shell.
    • Please run echo $SHELL from a new terminal to confirm.
    • Expected result: /usr/bin/zsh or similar

Install and set up zsh as default

If necessary, follow these steps to install Zsh:

  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 the instructions from the Zsh FAQ.

  2. Verify installation by running zsh --version. Expected result: zsh 5.0.8 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.

  4. Log out and log back in 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 5.8 or similar

Install with omz with curl

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
