How does one locate a .zshrc file?

Question

I used Homebrew to install Z shell (zsh) 5.0.7 on my Mac.

For the life of me, .zshrc is nowhere to be found. It is not in ~. Is is not in /etc or /etc/zshrc as they suggest here: http://zshwiki.org/home/config/files

Am I supposed to create it myself?

Answer 1

Sure. If it's not there already, create it yourself.

$ touch ~/.zshrc

Answer 2

You can run the helper script zsh-newuser-install from the prompt, and it will walk you through the process to create an initial .zshrc in your home directory.
