FSL doesn't support zsh by default, so I patched it for installation.

Thanks so much for this code! I didn't realise it would be so easy to make it compatible with zsh. They should really implement this as part of the installer code.

Didn't work for me:

This worked for me. Modify fslinstaller.py as follows and then run it:

1. In def shell_config(), add zsh to the conditions
2. In def get_profile(), add these lines after declaring the homevariable:

if shell == 'zsh':
    profile = os.path.join(home, '.zshrc')
    return profile

Let me know if that worked for you!

Thanks fepegar, this easy fix worked well!
