NAME

install.sh — script for automated installation of Zsh, Oh My Zsh, and a set of utilities (mc, wget, curl, telnet, nano, fastfetch) with support for popular Linux distributions.

SYNOPSIS

sudo ./install.sh [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

This script sets up a modern shell environment for a selected Linux user. It automatically detects the distribution, installs required packages, configures locales, downloads .zshrc, installs Oh My Zsh, and sets Zsh as the default shell.

Key Features:

  • All user files (.zshrc, .oh-my-zsh, etc.) are installed for the user who invoked sudo, not for root.
  • Supports most popular Linux distributions.
  • Safe execution mode (set -euo pipefail).
  • Supports interactive mode and automation via flags.

OPTIONS

  • -y, --yes
    Automatically answer "yes" to all prompts (useful for automation).

  • --no-prompt Disable all interactive prompts. The script runs with default actions.

  • --only-zsh Install only Zsh and Oh My Zsh (without mc, wget, curl, telnet, nano, fastfetch, and locale setup).

USAGE

Standard installation:

sudo ./install.sh

Automated installation without prompts:

sudo ./install.sh --yes

Install only Zsh and Oh My Zsh:

sudo ./install.sh --only-zsh

EXAMPLES

  • Install for current user via sudo: 
    sudo ./install.sh
  • Automated installation with no prompts: 
    sudo ./install.sh --no-prompt
  • Only install the Zsh shell: 
    sudo ./install.sh --only-zsh

ENVIRONMENT

  • $SUDO_USER — original user; configs will be installed for this user.
  • $HOME — user's home directory, detected automatically for $SUDO_USER.

FILES

  • ${HOME}/.zshrc — main Zsh config.
  • ${HOME}/.oh-my-zsh — Oh My Zsh framework directory.
  • setup_zsh_<DATE>.log — script log file.

SUPPORTED DISTROS

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Alpine, Oracle Linux.
