#### Manual inspection
It's a good idea to inspect the install script from projects you don't yet know. You can do
that by downloading the install script first, looking through it so everything looks normal,
then running it:
```shell
curl -Lo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh
sh install.sh
```

### Advanced Installation
Some users may want to change the default path, or manually install Oh My Zsh.
Some users may want to manually install Oh My Zsh, or change the default path or other settings that
the installer accepts (these settings are also documented at the top of the install script).
#### Custom Directory
The default location is `~/.oh-my-zsh` (hidden in your home directory)
If you'd like to change the install directory with the `ZSH` environment variable, either by running `export ZSH=/your/path` before installing, or by setting it before the end of the install pipeline like this:
If you'd like to change the install directory with the `ZSH` environment variable, either by running
`export ZSH=/your/path` before installing, or by setting it before the end of the install pipeline
like this:
```shell
export ZSH="$HOME/.dotfiles/oh-my-zsh"; sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
ZSH="$HOME/.dotfiles/oh-my-zsh" sh install.sh
```
#### Unattended install
If you're running the Oh My Zsh install script as part of an automated install, you can pass the
flag `--unattended` to the `install.sh` script. This will have the effect of not trying to change
the default shell, and also won't run `zsh` when the installation has finished.
```shell
curl -Lo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh
sh install.sh --unattended
```
#### Installing from a forked repository
The install script also accepts these variables to allow installation of a different repository:
- `REPO` (default: `robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh`): this takes the form of `owner/repository`. If you set
this variable, the installer will look for a repository at `https://github.com/{owner}/{repository}`.
- `REMOTE` (default: `https://github.com/${REPO}.git`): this is the full URL of the git repository
clone. You can use this setting if you want to install from a fork that is not on GitHub (GitLab,
Bitbucket...) or if you want to clone with SSH instead of HTTPS (`git@github.com:user/project.git`).
_NOTE: it's incompatible with setting the `REPO` variable. This setting will take precedence._
- `BRANCH` (default: `master`): you can use this setting if you want to change the default branch to be
checked out when cloning the repository. This might be useful for testing a Pull Request, or if you
want to use a branch other than `master`.
For example:
```shell
REPO=apjanke/oh-my-zsh BRANCH=edge sh install.sh
```

If you have any hiccups installing, here are a few common fixes.
* You _might_ need to modify your `PATH` in `~/.zshrc` if you're not able to find some commands after switching to `oh-my-zsh`.
* If you installed manually or changed the install location, check the `ZSH` environment variable in `~/.zshrc`.
