Open the Terminal application from Dock : Launchpad : Other, and at the command line:


/usr/bin/chsh -s /bin/zsh


Quit the Terminal application, and relaunch it. When you change from the older default Bash shell, the new Zsh shell will not read the Bash shell's "dot" startup files that set certain environment variables (e.g. PATH).
