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

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/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
