Is it possible (and how)? I really need this for several remote computers where I've got ssh access (but no root access).
Step 1: Install and Setup ZSH The first step before configuring the oh-my-zsh framework is to ensure we have the ZSH shell installed. By default, ZSH does not come pre-installed in most Linux distributions, and you will need to install it manually.
Some Linux systems come preloaded with zsh. You can check if it exists as well as its version by writing zsh --version in a terminal window. In case this zsh version is ok for you, you're done now!
There are 2 options to install zsh on Windows. We can either install zsh on WSL or replace the git bash shell with zsh. See Git Bash vs WSL.
Download zsh with:
wget -O zsh.tar.xz https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/files/latest/download mkdir zsh && unxz zsh.tar.xz && tar -xvf zsh.tar -C zsh --strip-components 1 cd zsh
You can compile zsh yourself, for example:
./configure --prefix=$HOME make make install
and then start it explicitly, or programmatically from your current shell's startup file (put exec $HOME/bin/zsh -l
in the right spot).
