Is it possible to install ZSH on Libreelec and change the bash shell to it? I tried to several installation methods but when I try to load the zsh executable, it says permission denied.
Custom Shell Support - ZSH

It's probably not impossible to switch the root user to an alternate shell, but due to the way LE is packaged and boots you'll probably need to compile a custom image that embeds zsh directly into the SYSTEM file. NB: We use the lightweight busybox 'ash' shell, not bash.

Thanks, chewitt. I wasn't aware Libreelec uses ash and not bash.
