So what is your current shell?

To see you current shell, copy and paste:

 echo $SHELL

When you run chsh -s /bin/zsh, nothing will happen until your quit the Terminal, and relaunch it. If you are running the Z shell, your terminal prompt will now end in a '%' character. Also, Zsh requires its own "dot" startup files (e.g. ~/.zshrc, ~/.zsh_profile) as it does not read the Bash startup items.
