      Could anyone explain how to install the FISH shell in AntiX? I’ve tried the generic Debian approach. Thanks.

          Here’s what I would expect should work. To install:
          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install fish

          on-demand, can launch by typing fish at command prompt

          To set fish as the default shell for your user account:
          $ chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
