I have an error message showing up whenever I open the terminal that says:
/Users/lingchen/.zshrc:17: parse error near `then'
(base) lingchen@Lingchens-MacBook-Pro ~ %
I tried to look for the zshrc file but couldn't find any. I can install packages through the terminal but when I try to run them, it gives an error message saying the package is not found.
I'm really at my wits' end.. help.

There is a valid reason I have no Zsh scripting syntax in my ~/.zshrc and have no syntax parsing errors.
Do this in the Terminal with each line ending in a return. We are renaming the ~/.zshrc file without the dot:
cd
mv ~/.zshrc ~/zshrc_bak
Then, copy/paste the following into the Terminal and follow it with a return:
<<"EOF" > ~/.zshrc
export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
PS1="%m: %~ %% "
EOF
That creates a new ~/.zshrc dot file with just a basic PATH and prompt PS1 statement. No computational Shell scripting involved.
If you are using homebrew as a package manager, then you want this exported PATH:
export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}:/opt/homebrew/bin"
You can force this into the current Terminal session with:
source ~/.zshrc

Hi,
Just open Terminal.app then,
cp /etc/zshrc_Apple_Terminal ~/.zshrc
Terminal parse error
