If you’ve installed zsh and getting the non-standard shell error

$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh
chsh: /usr/local/bin/zsh: non-standard shell

You need to add /usr/local/bin/zsh to /etc/shells

$ sudo vim /etc/shells
Password:

# Add the following and save
/usr/local/bin/zsh

If your Favorites in the Finder Sidebar not showing in the Mac Open Dialog, per Apple.StackExchange running the following from command line would make them show up. Note you’re running sudo and hence need root access.

cd ~/Library/Preferences && sudo find com.apple.finder.plist* -exec rm {} \; && killall Finder
