1. Install zsh

sudo apt update
sudo apt install zsh

2. Check if you have ZSH installed:

which zsh

If everything is fine , you should see:

/usr/bin/zsh

3. Set ZSH as default shell

chsh -s $(which zsh)

You may need to log out the current user and log back in.
Then uou will need to set up the default configuration.
select 0, which will create an empty .zshrc configuration file.

Install oh-my-zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Install plugins:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
nano .zshrc

add these values

plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)
