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.

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.
