## Mac OSX

The default shell with Mac OS X Ventura and newer versions is ZSH. This is not common for non-Mac users, so we want to switch the default shell to bash before we begin the lesson. The command to do this is:

```bash
$ chsh -s /bin/bash
```

To switch back to the default, you can enter the following:

```bash
$ chsh -s /bin/zsh
```

For a complete list of available shells, you can type:

```bash
$ cat /etc/shells
```
