Install ZSH on Ubuntu Bash Windows

• Run this sudo apt-get install zsh
• Open your bash profile vim~/.bashrc
• Add this to set it to use ZSH as default:

bash -c zsh\
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.\
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)\
# for examples

# If not running interactively, don't do anything\

Install Oh My ZSH

Install Oh My Zsh with sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

NVM

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins

git clone https://github.com/lukechilds/zsh-nvm ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-nvm

Then load as a plugin in your .zshrc profile. Note that plugins need to be added before oh-my-zsh.sh is sourced. For example, here is a snippet from my .zshrc profile.

.zshrc

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.
plugins=(git)

plugins+=(zsh-nvm)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
