# Changing Shell
A Unix shell is a command-line interpreter or shell that provides a traditional user interface for the Unix operating system and for Unix-like systems.
Users direct the operation of the computer by entering commands as text for a command line interpreter to execute or by creating text scripts of one or more such commands.
A Unix shell is a command-line interpreter that provides an interface and functionalities for your terminal. The most known and used shell in Linux is *bash* as it comes installed and activated on most distribution out-of-the-box.
Other shells exist, such as :
- Dash
- Fish
- Zsh
A list of available shells on Solus is in `/usr/share/defaults/etc/shells`.
If you want to switch from *bash* to another shell in your terminal you have to use the command `chsh` to do that (alongside installing the proper package for your shell).
The command is used with `sudo` rights to change the shell for your user session.
Exemple:
````
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh $(whoami)
```
