    Can anyone explain the following?

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

    It might require superuser rights? Try

    sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh

    Forget that! That command changes it for the root user. What happens if you close
    the terminal window, start a fresh one and then type echo $SHELL

    That message is in the bash binary, so it seems that you must be
    running bash.

    To check this, see what you get when you type

    echo $SHELL

    or

    ps | grep $$

    If, as expected, those tell you it's bash, I don't know why chsh isn't
    working.

    You can also view or change your shell in System Preferences, er,
    Settings. Go to Users & Groups, right-click on your name to get
    a rather small menu containing only "Advanced options..."
