# Change Default Shell For A User
You can change the default shell program for a particular unix user with the
`chsh` command. Just tell it what shell program you want to use (e.g. `bash`
or `zsh`) and which user the change is for:
```
$ [sudo] chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh username
```
This command needs to be invoked with root privileges.
This command updates the entry for that user in the `/etc/passwd` file.
