Set as default

To set zsh as default shell for your user, edit /etc/passwd (from /bin/bash to /bin/zsh)

There are two ways:

Running this command:

• chsch $USER
• Input your password
• Input /bin/zsh

Modifying /etc/passwd

• Change your user in /etc/passwd to /bin/zsh instead of /bin/bash

• Find line containing your username

• Change the end of the line From: ...:/bin/bash

  To: ...:/bin/zsh
