          Try using the chsh command.



          e.g.



          chsh -s /bin/zsh


          You can confirm the location of zsh by running whereis zsh, or alternatively simply run



          chsh -s $(which zsh)


          If you want to change the shell for a user account other than the one you're logged into, you'll need to run it as root, so to change john's shell, do:



          sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) john


          Note that you'll need to log out and log back in for the change to go into effect. If you're using Gnome or some other window manager, you'll need to completely log out of that session as well—simply closing and opening your terminal is insufficient.

          • I did try that, but with the root user!! My AMI Image has ubuntu rather than root. Had to switch to ubuntu user to change the shell! Thanks for the hint :)

            @Paddy if you are root you can change it for another user by running chsh -s /bin/zsh username.

          Open /etc/passwd:



          sudo vi /etc/passwd


          Find the line with your username:



          username:x:1634231:100:Your Name:/home/username:/bin/bash


          and replace bash with zsh:



          username:x:1634231:100:Your Name:/home/username:/bin/zsh


          Log out and log in back for the changes to take effect.

            It's better to use chsh, but if you're really going to edit /etc/passwd by hand, at least use the vipw command.

          • I don't have chsh on my machine. Also, for some weird reason my /etc/passwd file is regularly being overwritten by the default one. Do you know why this could be happening?

            Aug 14 '14 at 16:44











          • Don't touch /etc/passwd. There are better ways to do this that do not require messing with the passwd tool!

          On Ubuntu, inside GNOME terminal, making changes via chsh won't have the expected effect...



          To get over this problem, do this:




          • Right click in terminal

          • Profiles -> Profile Preferences

          • Under "Title and Command" tab, tick "Run a custom command instead of my shell" and provide the path to zsh executable.

          • Restart Terminal.


          Peace.

          I came here to just add more additional information.
          If you have troubles when install zsh in Amazon Linux AMI by Amazon, like when you run:



          sudo chsh $(which zsh) : // chsh command not found


          Then you should install util-linux-user: 



          sudo yum install util-linux-user


          (by default Amazon Linux AMI only has lchsh, but I can not figure how it work).



          Then run the following command, it should work:



          sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)

            Open /etc/passwd:

            Find the line with your username:

            Open /etc/passwd:



            sudo vi /etc/passwd


            Find the line with your username:



            username:x:1634231:100:Your Name:/home/username:/bin/bash


            and replace bash with zsh:



            username:x:1634231:100:Your Name:/home/username:/bin/zsh


            Log out and log in back for the changes to take effect.

              It's better to use chsh, but if you're really going to edit /etc/passwd by hand, at least use the vipw command.

            On Ubuntu, inside GNOME terminal, making changes via chsh won't have the expected effect...



            To get over this problem, do this:




            • Right click in terminal

            • Profiles -> Profile Preferences

            • Under "Title and Command" tab, tick "Run a custom command instead of my shell" and provide the path to zsh executable.

            • Restart Terminal.


            Peace.

            I came here to just add more additional information.
            If you have troubles when install zsh in Amazon Linux AMI by Amazon, like when you run:



            sudo chsh $(which zsh) : // chsh command not found


            Then you should install util-linux-user: 



            sudo yum install util-linux-user


            (by default Amazon Linux AMI only has lchsh, but I can not figure how it work).



            Then run the following command, it should work:



            sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
