Similarly to how we installed homebrew, we can use a curl command to install Oh My Zsh. Oh My Zsh is a framework for managing your Zsh configurations, it comes bundled with thousands of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes and will help you to customise your terminal. Installing Oh My ZshĪs Zsh is the default shell used on macOs, the next step is to install Oh My Zsh. Once installed we can close the built in terminal app we have used so far and open iTerm2 😀. This is done as follows: brew install -cask iterm2 To install iTerm2 we can use homebrew’s -cask flag which enables us to install GUI applications. While the built in Terminal application has been improved over the years with better support for things like tabs, I prefer to use iTerm2 which offers many more power features. bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" Installing iTerm2
To install homebrew we can run the following command in our terminal, this uses curl to fetch a install script and executes it. Homebrew calls itself “The missing package manager for macOS” and is an easy to use tool for installing all sorts of applications (both CLI and GUI) on your Mac. The first thing I always do when I setup a Mac is open the default Terminal app and install homebrew. Today I thought I would share how you can start to customise your own CLI to make it work better for you.
