To determine what shell is currently used in your environment, run following command in your terminal:
echo $SHELLMacOS users: macOS switched the default shell from bash to zsh with the release of macOS Catalina (version 10.15). If you are still using bash, recommendation is to switch to zsh, since bash is not being updated on MacOS. To change shell:
chsh -s /bin/zshLinux users: zsh or bash ... what ever floats your boat :)
- pre-installed homebrew tool: brew is a command line tool to install apps and tools on MacOS. To install brew, run and follow prompt requests:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"There are no pre-requisites for Linux. We will use apt tool to install packages. There is home brew for Linux, called Linuxbrew, but the installation packages are not widely available yet.
