Welcome to Oh My Zsh!

Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration.

• You'll need zsh to install Oh My Zsh. Run zsh --version to check if you have it:

  $ zsh --version
  zsh 5.8 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)
  

• If you see command not found you don't have zsh installed. See Installing Zsh for instructions.

• Once you have zsh, you can install Oh My Zsh by simply running one of these commands:

  Method	Command
  curl	sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
  wget	sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
  fetch	sh -c "$(fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

  NOTE: the installer will rename an existing .zshrc file to .zshrc.pre-oh-my-zsh.

• Alternatively, the installer is also mirrored outside GitHub. Using this URL may be required if you're in a country like India or China, that blocks raw.githubusercontent.com:

  Method	Command
  curl	sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://install.ohmyz.sh)"
  wget	sh -c "$(wget -O- https://install.ohmyz.sh)"
  fetch	sh -c "$(fetch -o - https://install.ohmyz.sh)"
