If everything is installed you can switch your shell with this
sudo chsh -s `which zsh`

Zsh Shell doesnt work
Yesterday i had to reinstall my OS. Now i installed Zsh but it does not work.
If i run
curl -L https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh | sh
The System says that it already exist
You already have Oh My Zsh installed. You'll need to remove /Users/christopherdosin/.oh-my-zsh if you want to install
But if i open my terminal i am getting the default terminam and not Zsh
I also deleted the file again and installed Zsh again but no affect.

Looking for an existing zsh config...
Found ~/.zshrc. Backing up to ~/.zshrc.pre-oh-my-zsh
Using the Oh My Zsh template file and adding it to ~/.zshrc
Copying your current PATH and adding it to the end of ~/.zshrc for you.
Time to change your default shell to zsh!

@bashy Seems not to be working. I did it for both my user and root
Christophers-MacBook-Pro:~ christopherdosin$ sudo chsh -s `which zsh`
Changing shell for root.
chsh: no changes made
Christophers-MacBook-Pro:~ christopherdosin$ chsh -s `which zsh`
Changing shell for christopherdosin.

still the same ugly white terminal :) Of course i closed the terminam and opened it again.
I also changed the PATH to my oh-my-zsh installation
ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh
also no affect.
And currently i only have my .profile for the default shell
cat ~/.profile
PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

@hostianer I think you have to log out of your account and then back in for the changes to take effect, not just reopen your terminal.

"chsh: /usr/local/bin/zsh: non-standard shell" means it's probably not the right one.
You can test it by doing this at the prompt
/usr/local/bin/zsh
It should load the shell for that session.
It could be elsewhere
chsh -s /bin/zsh

if i do
chsh -s /bin/zsh
It seems to work.
But the theme seems not to be load correctly. Here`s a Screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/l5hf5c9wz/
The default zsh theme should be loaded: ( ~/.zshrc ) ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

Not sure on that, checked what theme it's loading? Tried changing it and reloading shell?
Level 30
Mh .. yes i changed the theme to "cloud". The only thing which changed is the little cloud icon on the left.
But still the white window.
I closed the terminal several times.

Without knowing what you did with the backup files (may be corrupt) I can't say. Have you tried installing it again fresh then using backed up files once it's working? I know you said that folder but it obviously didn't install properly then either.

Did you restore settings from your old device? Chances are it moved your home folder in place, which has your ~/.oh-my-zsh config (directory) copied across. Move or delete it from your home directory and try installing zsh again.

check the file '/etc/shells' and execute "echo which zsh >> /etc/shells"
