>An installer [... is] there to copy files to your system and then modify your system so that it is ready to use the new program to the deepest level that makes sense

Sure, but what's the corresponding step in the zsh "install"? Looks like copying over their ~/.zshrc. The "install" script could have chosen to clone the git repo, copy the file, then print "all done! run 'zsh' to start your new shell!' or whatever
