Change AMI shell to zsh #33

One customization I like to make to Amazon AMIs is to have zsh be the default shell.

The post referenced in the image above has the following commands that need to be run on an EC2 instance.

sudo yum install zsh # Install zsh
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh ec2-user # Change shell to zsh for the EC2 user
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)" # install ohmyzsh
