Install Oh My ZSH on Ubuntu 14.04

The gist gives a short command sequence for setting up Oh My ZSH on Ubuntu 14.04. It first checks the current shell, then installs zsh and git-core, runs the Oh My ZSH installer, verifies the zsh path, and changes the login shell to /bin/zsh or the path returned by which zsh.

Reading notes

#

• Check the current shell with echo $0 before changing anything
• Install zsh with sudo apt-get install zsh
• Install Git with sudo apt-get install git-core
• Install Oh My ZSH with curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh | sh or with the wget command that pipes the installer into zsh
• Use which zsh to find the installed shell path
• Run chsh, enter the sudo password, and set the shell to /bin/zsh or the path found earlier
