HOW-TO Install ZSH on MacOS

Install

Use brew for the zsh shell:

brew update
brew install zsh

Then, see the oh my zsh repo; to install run:

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

Update the init script

Replace (or merge) .zshrc with the saved osx.zshrc.

Edit the theme

subl ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/agnoster.zsh-theme

Change this line in the virtualenv_prompt function:

prompt_segment 239 214 "(`basename $virtualenv_path`)"

Adjust Terminal fonts

Install the Powerline fonts:

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
cd fonts/
./install.sh

Change terminal font to one of the Powerline fonts, and, optionally, use the Dark Gray terminal profile.

Add link to Sublime

While you're at it, you may as well add a link to Sublime Text:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ${USR_LOCAL}/bin/subl
