Default interactive shell on Mac (compiling)

[louismcc123]

I have followed everything up until 5 mins into lecture 14 (Your First Program). I’m on mac and think i must have a setting wrong or downloaded something in the wrong place…? When I open the terminal I get:

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh.

at the top of the terminal above the file name. Any ideas on how to change this?

zsh is just a different shell, the default used to be bash.

You can change that in your settings to use zsh instead of bash

has this worked?

Yes. The program exits as soon as it starts so there’s nothing observable.
