How to install ZSH terminal in CentOS 7.x

1. Install basic components

First, execute the yum command to install the required zsh original program and git program to pull the code.

yum install -y zsh git

Install the oh my zsh script (this step requires git to be installed).

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

Use which zsh to view the installation directory of zsh , which is generally stored in the /usr/bin/zsh directory.

which zsh

Use the chsh command to switch the shell program used.

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh

2. Perform optional configuration

2.1 Installing ZSH Icon Font

Execute the following command to pull the icon repository in the current directory, switch to its directory, and execute the ./install.sh script to successfully install it.

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git

2.2 Change ZSH theme

Use the vi tool to edit the /root/.zshrc file, change ZSH_THEME="robbyussell" field to the ZSH_THEME="agnoster" field, and update their configuration files through the source ~/.zshrc command.

2.3 Installing plugins

The main reason for using ZSH to replace the original SHELL is to use its powerful plug-ins. Here we only recommend installing three plug-ins, namely wd , zsh-syntax-highlighting , and zsh-autosuggestions .

First, execute the following commands in sequence to clone the repositories of the following two plug-ins into the plug-in directory of Oh My Zsh.

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git

After the cloning operation is completed, the full paths of the two plug-ins are:

/root/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
/root/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh

Continue to use vi to edit the ~/.zshrc file.

# Other content plugins=(
 git
 wd
 zsh-syntax-highlighting
 zsh-autosuggestions
)

source /root/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
source /root/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
# Other content

After editing, execute the source ~/.zshrc command to update the ZSH configuration. The final effect is as shown below.
