The zsh Portfile 57375 2009-09-10 08:16:41Z ryandesign macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: zsh
Version: 4.2.7
Category: shells
Maintainers: nox openmaintainer
Description: Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell)
Long Description: Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) which of the standard shells most resembles the Korn shell (ksh), although it is not completely compatible. It includes enhancements of many types, notably in the command-line editor, options for customising its behaviour, filename globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and extra features drawn from tcsh (another `custom' shell).

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/zsh
%  sudo port install zsh  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching zsh
--->  Verifying checksum for zsh
--->  Extracting zsh
--->  Configuring zsh
--->  Building zsh with target all

--->  Staging zsh into destroot

--->  Installing zsh

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using zsh with these commands:

%  man zsh
%  apropos zsh
%  which zsh
%  locate zsh
