$ chsh -s `which zsh` $ vim ~/.zshrc # hack away
# install oh my zsh $ curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh |
sh $ vim ~/.zshrc # hack away
# Zsh syntax highlighting $ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh && git clone
git:// github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax- highlighting.git $ source ~/.oh-my-zsh/zsh-syntax- highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
