zsh: non-standard shell error

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
