Install Fish shell on Mac OS X

  1. Install Brew, a nice package manager for MacOS

  2. Install Fish : brew install fish

  4. (optional) Set fish as the default shell
    3.1 ...for root (assumed as the current user because of point 2.) : chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
    3.2 ...for you: exit then chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish again
