But a terminal is more than just a black screen to type in. It usually runs a shell, so called because it wraps around the kernel. The shell is a text-based interface that lets you run commands on the system. It’s also sometimes called a command line interpreter or CLI. Fedora, like most Linux distributions, comes with bash as the default shell. However, it isn’t the only shell available; several other shells can be installed. This article focuses on the Z Shell, or zsh. + +Bash is a rewrite of the old Bourne shell (sh) that shipped in UNIX. Zsh is intended to be friendlier than bash, through better interaction. Some of its useful features are: + + * Programmable command line completion + * Shared command history between running shell sessions + * Spelling correction + * Loadable modules + * Interactive selection of files and folders + + + +Zsh is available in the Fedora repositories. To install, run this command: +``` +$ sudo dnf install zsh + +``` + +### Using zsh + +To start using it, just type zsh and the new shell prompts you with a first run wizard. This wizard helps you configure initial features, like history behavior and auto-completion. Or you can opt to keep the [rc file][1] empty: + +![zsh First Run Wizzard][2] + +If you type 1 the configuration wizard starts. The other options launch the shell immediately. + +Note that the user prompt is **%** and not **$** as with bash. A significant feature here is the auto-completion that allows you to move among files and directories with the Tab key, much like a menu: + +![zsh cd Feature][3] + +Another interesting feature is spelling correction, which helps when writing filenames with mixed cases: + +![zsh Auto Completion][4] + +## Making zsh your default shell + +Zsh offers a lot of plugins, like zsh-syntax-highlighting, and the famous “Oh my zsh” ([check out its page here][5]). You might want to make it the default, so it runs whenever you start a session or open a terminal. To do this, use the chsh (“change shell”) command: +``` +$ chsh -s $(which zsh) + +``` + +This command tells your system that you want to set (-s) your default shell to the correct location of the shell (which zsh). + +Photo by [Kate Ter Haar][6] from [Flickr][7] (CC BY-SA). + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://fedoramagazine.org/set-zsh-fedora-system/ + +作者:[Eduard Lucena][a] +选题:[lujun9972](https://github.com/lujun9972) +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]:https://fedoramagazine.org/author/x3mboy/ +[1]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_file +[2]:https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/zshFirstRun.gif +[3]:https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/zshChangingFeature-1.gif +[4]:https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/zshAutoCompletion.gif +[5]:http://ohmyz.sh/ +[6]:https://www.flickr.com/photos/katerha/ +[7]:https://www.flickr.com/photos/katerha/34714051013/
