Commands to set the global command search path and other system-wide environment variables; it should not contain commands that produce output. ~/.zshenv
For per-user configuration. Generally used for setting some useful environment variables. /etc/zsh/zprofile
This is a global configuration file, usually used for executing some general commands at login. On Arch Linux, by default it contains one line which sources the /etc/profile. /etc/profile
This file should be sourced by all Bourne-compatible shells upon login: it sets up an environment upon login and application-specific settings. Again on Arch Linux, Z Shell will also source this by default. ~/.zprofile
This file is generally used for automatic execution of user scripts upon login. /etc/zsh/zshrc
Another global configuration file. ~/.zshrc
The main user configuration file, and the one most often customised by users. This file is the one that will be used and changed in the next section. /etc/zsh/zlogin
Another global configuration file. ~/.zlogin
Same as the previous file before it, except for individual-user configuration. /etc/zsh/zlogout
A global configuration file, will be sourced when a login shell exits. ~/.zlogout
Same as the previous file before it, except for individual-user configuration.
Ubuntu 14 04 Z Shell zsh Installation and Basic Configuration
By: Author DroidRant Editors Posted on Published: January 21, 2020 Categories Tricks Of The Trades Initial notes on installing plus base setup of Z Shell. Listed here are some of its often touted features. Auto-completion Auto-correction Scripting capabilities Extensibility with modules Improved globbing Improved array handling Related Questions / Contents1 – Installation2 – zsh-newuser-install3 – Configuration Files Layout4 – zshrc Configuration FileAlternative Method via oh-my-zsh1 – Installation
Update the apt-get package manager’s database. [alert-announce] $ sudo apt-get update [/alert-announce] Install zsh through the apt-get package manager. [alert-announce] $ sudo apt-get install zsh [/alert-announce]2 – zsh-newuser-install
Run Z Shell for the first time to begin the new user config. [alert-announce] $ zsh [/alert-announce] If it doesn’t run or drop into the config then you can use: [alert-announce] $ zsh /usr/share/zsh/functions/Newuser/zsh-newuser-install -f [/alert-announce] Which will invoke the new user config manually. Work through the new prompt screen as directed, typing 0 remembers an edit but does not save it until it is entered again on the root prompt screen. [alert-announce] (1) Configure settings for history, i.e. command lines remembered and saved by the shell. (Recommended) [/alert-announce] On the first option 0 will suffice and keeps the default settings. [alert-announce] (2) Configure the new completion system. (Recommended.) [/alert-announce] On the second option pressing 1 and turning on completion with default options is enough. [alert-announce] (3) Configure how keys behave when editing command lines. (Recommended.) [/alert-announce] With the third option you can set the key’s shell line editor to behave like Emacs or Vi. Set it with 1 and press e for emacs and v for vi. [alert-announce] (4) Pick some of the more common shell options. These are simple “on” or “off” switches controlling the shell’s features. [/alert-announce] In the fourth option I set 1, 2, and 3 to on, enabling them. Finally entering 0 at the root menu exits and saves these new settings.3 – Configuration Files Layout
