Getting oh-my-zsh to work in Ubuntu
Raw
zsh.md

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

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

and then you change your shell to zsh

chsh -s `which zsh`

and then restart

sudo shutdown -r 0

This problem is explained in depth in this issue

You have to have "zsh" installed on Ubuntu first... Then it works :)

apt-get install zsh
