I have just installed ZSH shell using Homebrew to learn some new Unix shell tricks on my Macbook Pro. Next up is Oh My ZSH. Since this is the official Oh My ZSH installer, it should work on most Linux distros, but I tested it on my Macbook Pro running MacOS Mojave.

Install Oh My ZSH using curl

This command assumes you have curl command installed on your system, curl comes pre-installed with macOS but you may need to install it separately in Linux:

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