Shell the Z- ( Zsh ) is used as an interactive login shell and scripting of the command interpreter . Zsh has made a lot of improvements to the Bourne shell and added some features of Bash , ksh and tcsh .

Features include:

Programmable command line completion function that can help users enter commonly used command options and parameters , with built-in support for hundreds of commands
Command history can be shared with any Shell
File expansion can be used to match files without running external programs (such as find )
Improve variable / array handling
Edit multiple lines of commands in a single buffer
Spell Check
Multiple compatibility modes (for example, Zsh can /bin/shpretend to be a Bourne shell when it is running )
Programmable command line interface , including the function of displaying the prompt line information on the right side of the screen and automatically hiding it when a long command is entered
Loadable modules can provide additional support: complete transmission control protocol , Unix domain socket control, FTP client and extended mathematical functions.
The built-in wherecommand, which is whichsimilar to the command, but displays $PATHall the positions specified in the command instead of only the position of the used command.
Directory name. This feature allows the user to set shortcuts (such as ~mydirwith ~and ~userwork similar).

Take the centos7 system as an example here

View the shell currently used by the system:

echo $SHELL

Check whether the system has zsh installed:

cat /etc/shells

Centos7 is not installed by default, if not installed, install zsh first

yum install zsh

Set zsh as the default:

chsh -s /bin/zsh

To install oh-my-zsh, first make sure you have installed git:

(1) Automatic installation:

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

Successful installation

(2) Manual installation:

git clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh

Need to copy

cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc

At this point, oh-my-zsh is installed

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

edit:

vim ~/.zshrc

Add the plugin name in the configuration

plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)

After the modification is completed, you need to run:

source ~/.zshrc

Make changes take effect

Next install the code prompt zsh-autosuggestions:

git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

edit:

vim ~/.zshrc

Add the plug-in name in the configuration:

plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-autosuggestions)

After the modification is completed, you need to run:

source ~/.zshrc

Make changes take effect

If the prompt color is white, not gray, you can modify the prompt color:

export TERM=xterm-256color

Or or add it to .zshrc:

echo "export TERM=xterm-256color" >> ~/.zshrc

Then execute again:

source ~/.zshrc

After modifying the ~/.zshrc operation, you must source it to make the modification effective
