OSX Mountain Lion ships with ZSH 4.3.1 in /bin/zsh. After downloading, ./configure, make, make check, and make install-ing version 5.0.0,
which zsh still returns /bin/zsh/
and zsh --version still returns zsh 4.3.11 (i386-apple-darwin12.0)
Items of note to help answerers:
I had no errors running the install commands.
In /usr/local/bin, I have these 3 files:
-rwxr-xr-x 2 kevinsuttle admin 622K Aug 20 00:59 zsh
-rwxr-xr-x 2 kevinsuttle admin 622K Aug 20 00:59 zsh-5.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kevinsuttle admin 622K Aug 20 00:50 zsh.old
My $PATH
$ echo $PATH
/Users/kevinsuttle/.rbenv/shims:/Users/kevinsuttle/.rbenv/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin
Questions I need answered:
1. What is the cleanest way to install ZSH? (From git, homebrew, curl-ing source?)
2. Does it matter where you run the install commands?
3. How do I upgrade or override the version of ZSH that ships with Mountain Lion?
4. Is this why people end up using oh-my-zsh?
