## HowTo install zsh in many platforms
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### macOS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh

||||||

brew install zsh zsh-completions

|
```

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming you have [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) installed. If not, most versions of
|
||||||
|
**macOS** ship zsh by default, but it's normally an older version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Try `zsh --version` before installing it from Homebrew. If it's newer than 4.3.9
|
||||||
|
you _might_ be OK. Preferably newer than or equal to 5.0 **
