Step 1: Update your package list
Code:
sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Fish
Code:
sudo apt install fish

Step 3: Verify the installation
Code:
fish --version

Step 4 (Optional): Start Fish right away
Code:
fish

Step 5 (Optional): Set Fish as your default shell
Code:
chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
Note: Log out and log back in for the change to take effect.

Suppress the welcome message ("Welcome to fish")
If you'd like to disable the default greeting message shown when you start Fish, add the following line to your config file:
Code:
set -g fish_greeting ""

Fish provides features like syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, and better tab completion by default. It's a great alternative to Bash for daily terminal use.
