Install Oh-My-Zsh using Curl:

both are different.

Let’s take a look at how to install plugins, and configure Zsh:

Install zsh-autosuggestions by running:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

Install zsh-syntax-highlighting by running:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Now, open

.zshrc

nano ~/.zshrc

And simply add

zsh-autosuggestions

zsh-syntax-highlighting

plugins()

plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)

Reopen terminal to reconfigure the settings and Voila! 🎉
