Solve the Problem of invalid installing Zsh in Bash On Ubuntu On Window. Attachment installation instructions
Preface

Zsh is a great Shell. People who use Linux and Mac systems basically know the existence of zsh.

Problem

After Zsh is installed, zsh can be used, but after restart, It is restored to the default bash.
After installation, run the following command:chsh -s /bin/zshSwitch the default shell.
Then, the $ SHELL variable is output as follows:

root@XY ~ # echo $SHELL/bin/bash

The setting is invalid. I thought it was about to restart.
Restart Bash On Ubuntu On Window.
The result is still invalid.

Solution

I opened an issues on BashOnWindows GitHub. The following method may be the easiest.

Add zsh to the. bashrc configuration file

Open the. bashrc file:

root@XY ~ # vi ~/.bashrc

Add bash-c zsh to the end of the file.

Then restart the terminal.

Attachment: Installation

Zsh is now popular with the use of oh-my-zsh for configuration, so you need to install oh-my-zsh.

Install zsh
Installing ZSH

root@XY ~ # sudo apt-get install zsh

Install oh-my-zsh
You can install oh-my-zsh in the following two ways.
Via curl

root@XY ~ # sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Via wget

root@XY ~ # sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

For more information, see oh-my-zsh # basic-installation

If you have a better method, I hope you can share it with me.
