Mac Updates Hang when using zsh
Mac App Store updates hang for mac programs like iMovie when system shell is set to zsh.
1. Force quite any hung installs (Activity Monitor > Force Kill)
2. Switch terminal shell to bash
> chsh -s /bin/bash
3. Re-run the install from Mac App Strore
4. Switch terminal back to zsh
> chsh -s /bin/zsh
Restart terminal may be required.
