#### How do I install OMZ and Zsh?
Please see [[Installing Zsh]] for instructions to install Zsh.
Please see instructions in the [README](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh#getting-started) to install OMZ. Please see [[Contribution Technical Practices]] for instructions to set up a fork for contributing.
To manually install OMZ in a custom directory, run
```zsh
git clone git@github.com:robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git /my/custom/directory
```
You will need to add `export ZSH=/my/custom/directory` and `source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh` to your `~/.zshrc`.
#### How do I uninstall OMZ and Zsh?
Run `$ZSH/tools/uninstall.sh` to remove OMZ. This will backup your `~/.zshrc` and remove your OMZ install entirely. Then:
* if you have `~/.zshrc.pre-oh-my-zsh`, it is assumed that you had Zsh in use prior to installing OMZ
* otherwise it is assumed that you were using Bash, so the default shell will be set to `/bin/bash` and `/etc/profile` will be sourced
Then simply reopen your shells. You must have OMZ installed in the default directory (_ie_ `~/.oh-my-zsh`) for this to work.
Alternatively, to manually remove OMZ do `rm -rf $ZSH` — you will also have to edit your `~/.zshrc`. To manually set a new default shell, do `chsh -s /my/new/shell`, _eg_ `chsh -s /bin/bash`. Then simply reopen your shells.
