Raspberry Pi
How to install Oh My ZSH!
Posted by wojtek on January 6, 2022 in Raspi

Writing an introduction to Raspberry Pi (https://www.raspberrypi.com) nowadays


would be a little bit too late as the initial release was in 2012. Since that, it become
really popular, not only in education which was the original purpose. But as well in
some academic and commercial projects where such a small computer suits the
needs.
If you have one already you probably know how easy is to set it up. If you thinking
of getting one all you need you will be able to find is here
(https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/). There are versions available for
macOS, Linux and Windows. It’s really simple just download this software, put a
microSD card into your computer and choose which operating system you would
like to install. Put a card in the computer, and connect the screen, keyboard,
mouse and power supply. If your choice was Raspberry Pi OS it should start in a
graphical mode and welcome you with some setting screen. You can start using it
as an almost standard computer, depending on the version of hardware you have
it can be a little bit slower in some actions.
Raspberry Pi is a great learning programming platform for kids. It has great
support for Scratch and Python. There are hardware extensions like Sense HAT
(https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/sense-hat/) which are making coding a
little bit more realistic game. Of course, you can use it for coding in almost any
language or host a web server, DB server or maybe game server ex. MineTest one.
Opportunities are almost limitless.

I have at the moment three older boards, two RPi2 and one RPi3. One of them is
set up to be a retro game console, the other one has a media center OS installed.
Both are not in use at the moment, I don’t have time for games and TV has Netflix
built-in. RPi3 was always to play with, I have installed the latest Raspberry Pi OS,
default running in console mode and most of the time I’m using it with SSH. Based
on it I’ll write a couple of posts/tutorials.

Install Oh My ZSH
The first one, really short is about installing Oh My ZSH (https://ohmyz.sh) on RPi.
What is this? If you work a lot in a computer console you probably like to improve
a little bit your experience and make your work more efficient. Oh My ZSH is a
framework that comes with a lot of plugins
(https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins) and themes
(https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes) that you can use. For
example, you can see the git branch that you are checkout to.

Installation is really simple, first install ZSH shell:


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zsh

Then you need to install Oh My ZSH itself:


sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/inst

You will be asked if you want to change your default shell to zsh after confirming
that you should see something like that on your screen:
