As far as I m aware  you ve got three options to install zsh on Mac OS X     Pre-built binary  The only one I know of is the one that ships with OS X  this is probably what you re running now   Use a package system  Ports  Homebrew    Install from source  Last time I did this it wasn t too difficult    configure  make  make install

I just switched the main shell to zsh  It suppresses the warnings and it isn t too complicated

If you have Homebrew installed  you can do this     check the zsh info brew info zsh    install zsh brew install --without-etcdir zsh    add shell path sudo vim  etc shells    add the following line into the very end of the file  etc shells   usr local bin zsh    change default shell chsh -s  usr local bin zsh   Hope it helps  thanks

If you re not using Homebrew  this is what I just did on MAC OS X Lion  10 7 5     Get the latest version of the ZSH sourcecode Untar the download into its own directory then install    configure  amp  amp  make  amp  amp  make test  amp  amp  sudo make install This installs the the zsh binary at  usr local bin zsh  You can now use the shell by loading up a new terminal and executing the binary directly  but you ll want to make it your default shell    To make it your default shell you must first edit  etc shells and add the new path  Then you can either run chsh -s  usr local bin zsh or go to System Preferences   Users  amp  Groups   right click your user   Advanced Options      and then change  Login shell   Load up a terminal and check you re now in the correct version with echo  ZSH VERSION   I wasn t at first  and it took me a while to figure out I d configured iTerm to use a specific shell instead of the system default
